Move the "[":

  $ cat z.ly
  \version "2.3.22"

  {e4 f4. f8[ f8. f16]}
  $ lilypond --dvi z.ly 

  Now processing `z.ly'
  Parsing...
  Interpreting music... [2]
  Preprocessing graphical objects... 
  Calculating line breaks... [2]
  Layout output to `z.tex'...Converting to `z.dvi'...

  $

instead the start and end note are appended with them.

Correct:

  a8[ ais]

Incorrect:

  [a8 ais]
