I'm trying to enclose some lyrics within square brackets but, for reasons too tedious to trouble the list with*, I'd like to parameterise the brackets using the \foo and \fooEnd constructs in the following pseudocode.  Is there a way to do this without causing "[" and "]" to be set as separate syllables?

hopefully,

\version "2.19.21"

theNotes = {
