Just pushed a fix for the parenthesis engraver to staging.  The chord
bracket stuff was already fixed shortly before:

commit 4bdb9204b1b682b38bd76afc03e5d629621428f1
Author: David Kastrup <address@hidden>
Date:   Thu Jan 16 06:32:15 2014 +0100

    NR percussion: Parenthesis_engraver is available at Score level

commit 80f53a23cf96c173c8b27209227a69644b75a13d
Author: David Kastrup <address@hidden>
Date:   Mon Jan 6 04:00:01 2014 +0100

    NR percussion: Remove advice obsoleted by issue 2240
    
    \parenthesize works fine on single notes.


Should cherry-pick into translation, I think, so that this moves into
2.18.1 as well.
