Probably not what you had in mind.  ( and ) are not treated differently:
they are attached to the last note of a preceding phrase, similarly any
other post-event.  But you could probably write

{<>( \var \var )}

instead to get what I presume to be the desired effect.

hihi :)

This is exactly what I wanted. But I don't understand why your code works and mine doesn't.

Isn't "var" a phrase and 'd' the last note of the that phrase?
