Putting parentheses around a note inside a chord

From LilyPond wiki

As children do not always have hands large enough, say, to plays octavas when studying piano, or anything else, it can be useful to add parentheses around a low note for example. In this snippet, the “parenthesized” note is made a bit smaller using the \tweak command on the #'font-size property.
