Re: Ugly volta brackets

[Mats Bengtsson]

It is much easier to answer questions like these if you include an example
(short but complete so it can be ran directly through LilyPond)
of the LilyPond code that you used. Then anybody on the mailing list
who has an idea can quickly test it. Now, I would need to spend maybe
10 minutes to first try to recreate your vbbad example before I can start
testing some ideas on how to solve your problems.

For question 3, see
