Re: noteheads in parentheses

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest way to obtain dynamics in parentheses is to use
text markup. Something like
c4_\markup{ ( \dynamic mp ) }
or maybe you prefer
_\markup{ \bold { ( \dynamic mp ) }

For note heads, take a look at the example called molecule-hacking.ly
in the Regression Tests document included in the documentation for
your version of LilyPond (please always tell what LilyPond version
you use when you send a question, otherwise you might get an answer
that's irrelevant to you, I have assumed version 2.4 above).
