This worked like a charm, thanks to everyone!

Great!

Thought of something.  Why specify the numbers of the time signature in effect?  Not that it saves much time, but you could do this for a slightly shorter input:

 #(define ((time-parenthesized-time up down) grob)

   (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge

    (ly:time-signature::print grob)

    X RIGHT

    (parenthesize-stencil

     (grob-interpret-markup grob 

       (markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number #:column (up down)))

     0.1 0.7 0.7 0.1) ; these numbers affect the parentheses

    0.0 ; padding between columns

    ))

\relative c' {

  \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #(time-parenthesized-time "6" "8")      

  \time 3/4

  b8 b8 gis8 gis4 gis8

}

%%
