Another possibility is to hook into the way \parenthesize formats the 
parentheses: It obtains stencils for the opening and closing parentheses, so 
one was is to simply override them with opening and closing brackets. See the 
attached snippet, which defines a \bracketify command, which can be used almost 
like \parenthesize (bracketing individual notes of a chord doesn't work due to 
my use of \once\override inside the function).

Cheers,
Reinhold
