I've attached a file which I hope will be helpful. Unfortunately, I
needed to duplicate rather a lot of code from scm\stencil.scm, since I
make use of functions which aren't public.
I've defined a command \parenthesizeSlur which takes a number of
values. These are: half-thickness (controlling the line-thickness),
width, angularity (larger values make the parentheses less rounded),
and padding (controls the horizontal distance of the parentheses from
the slur).
I've defined (and used) \myParSlur with some reasonable values for the
above parameters.
To raise the slurs up a bit, I used \shape which is new to 2.16. You
could also override 'positions.
Let me know if this works for you or you need any further explanation.
