The work must definitely be done, but this is about separation of 
concern.  Is it the responsibility of your chord naming logic to tweak 
parens, or should \parenthesize itself be doing the work needed to 
ensure the resulting parens look good?

Assuming your tweaks are not too specific to chord naming, then moving 
this work to \parenthesize would mean all general users of the markup 
command automatically get typographically beautiful parens that smartly 
scale based on font and content size.
