Talk:Creating “real” parenthesized dynamics

Is this Snippet Necessary?

Can't this be done without Scheme code?

\version "2.24"

  \relative c'' {
    \override Parentheses.font-size = #2
    c4\parenthesize\f c c \dynamicUp c\parenthesize\p
  }

IMHO the answer is no. \parenthesize doesn't allow the fine-tuning necessary to get good output with slanted text. It might sense, however, to improve the documentation, mentioning \parenthesize. -- Lemzwerg (talk) 06:17, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
