Apologies, my own (completely independently thought up) earlier email was posted 
before reading this part of the discussion.

Is it not possible to again use brackets for avoidance of ambiguity, e.g.

  c-.={\parenthesize=\tweak #'color #red}

makes only the parenthesis red, while

  c-{.=\parenthesize}=\tweak #'color #red

makes the dot and parenthesis red, and

  {c-.=\parenthesize}=\tweak #'color #red

makes the note and the parenthesized dot red?
