Don't know how to (easily) parenthesize all the chords, but you can  
easily parenthesize each chord — see attached.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

\version "2.12.2"

#(define (parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion  
context)
(markup #:line ("(" (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion  
context) ")")))

chordset = \chordmode
{
  c1:7 g1:7
  \set chordNameFunction = #parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names
  a1:7 f1:7
  \unset chordNameFunction
  c1:7 g1:7
}

\score
{
  \new ChordNames \chordset
}
