Re: What is it called and can I do it?

Disclaimer: the override inside of the relative block comes from this thread, I have no idea how it works.

\version "2.17.29"

reminder =

#(define-music-function

(parser location note)

(ly:music?)

#{

\once \override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #3

\once \override NoteColumn #'X-offset = #1

\grace { \parenthesize $note }

\once \override NoteColumn #'X-offset = #1

#}

)

\relative c' {

\override ParenthesesItem #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)

(let* ((acc (ly:grob-object (ly:grob-parent grob Y) 'accidental-grob))

(dot (ly:grob-object (ly:grob-parent grob Y) 'dot)))

(if (not (null? acc)) (ly:pointer-group-interface::add-grob grob 'elements acc))

(if (not (null? dot)) (ly:pointer-group-interface::add-grob grob 'elements dot))

(parentheses-item::print grob)))

dis \reminder e! f

The following works, but it doesn't exactly look nice. I'll play around with it a little to see if I can clean it up.

\version "2.17.29"

{dis' \grace{ \parenthesize es'8 }}

No. It is the notational equivalent of:

ds (ef) | ef

The (ef) would be transparent to midi and lyrics.

If you override the trill stencil to be transparent or nonexistent, it's possible the pitched trill interface ( http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-as-lines#trills ) will do what you need?
