Objects may be parenthesized by prefixing @code{\parenthesize} to
-the music event. This only functions inside chords; to
-parenthesize a single note it must be enclosed with @code{<>} as
-if it is a chord.

-FIXME: after 2.11.44 is out,
-@c \parenthesize c4-. \parenthesize r4 \parenthesize <c e g>4->
+the music event. When applied to a chord, it parenthesizes every
+note.
@lilypond[quote,relative=2,fragment,verbatim,ragged-right]
-c2 < \parenthesize d>
+c2 \parenthesize d
+c2 \parenthesize <c e g>
@end lilypond
Non-note objects may be parenthesized as well.
@lilypond[quote,relative=2,fragment,verbatim,ragged-right]
-< c d g >2-\parenthesize -. d
+c2-\parenthesize -. d
+c2 \parenthesize r
