Re: Parenthesizing rests

[Mats Bengtsson]

parenthesized is a layout object property that only is included in the
accidental-interface, where it is used to determine if a cautionary 
accidental
should be typeset using smaller font or by including it in parentheses.

parenthesize, on the other hand, is a music property, which is used 
internally
by the \parenthesize macro to add parenthesis around note heads or 
articulations
or ...
For note heads, it only works within chords (I don't understand the 
implementation
well enough to realize why), which also explains why it doesn't work with
rests. An ugly workaround is to use the technique in the regression test
called stencil-hacking.ly
