Hi Gabe,
Welcome to LilyPond!
If you'd like to put a note in parenthesis, simply add this command:
\parenthesize
...to whichever pitches you which to enclose.
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/inside-the-staff#parentheses
If you want to put simple text/characters below a note, just use this:
_" your text here or characters "
(underscore and then your text in quotes)
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/writing-text
Hope this helps,
Ben
