What is "Hauptstimme and Nebenstimme brackets"?
I'm a native german speaker, but I really don't understand what you're writing.
Could you provide an example?

@Nathan: Brilliant! This is just what I needed. Thanks!


@Thomas/Harm: Hauptstimme and Nebenstimme brackets are used to show which voices in a thick texture are the most important ones. My understanding is that they were first invented by Schoenberg, but this could be incorrect. There is a little information on the English Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptstimme ,
Quite correct, but "Hauptstimme" and "Hauptsatz" or "Nebenstimme" and "Seitensatz" really aren't equivalent.
but the German Wikipedia article it links to appears to be about something rather different. (My German is not good enough to tell for certain, though, sorry!)
No, this link is quite nonsensical. The German article isn't really related to the topic.

Best
