Hi Kieren,
Thanks for the scan. If you look closely, however, you'll see that
it is stretched vertically-- not in a literal, Finale-like way, but in an
elegant way that keeps the middle of each brace about the same width
(about 3 pixels across) in your PNG. Additionally, the thick part of the
curve in the larger brace is less wide to help match the weight of the
smaller brace.
I submitted another example to try to show this more clearly. The
reference is a Debussy score (1st prelude of the 2nd book). I guess
"stretched vertically" is a bit vague; I guess what I'm seeing is that
as braces get larger, they are less thick than a perfectly scaled
version of the smaller brace.
Does that make sense?
