Re: Bracket with text label

[Urs Liska]

Hi Alec,

welcome to this list.

Images of this size are absolutely acceptable because they are very helpful to show your intention/problem/question.

I'm not sure if that's the best approach, but you could use a pseudo tuplet
and override the text of the "tuplet number":

\once \override TupletNumber #'text = "even"
\times 4/4 { a8 g16 f }

Depending on your LilyPond version you can use \tuplet instead of \times and write TupletNumber.text

Hi LilyPond users,

In my first post to this list, I'm looking for suggestions on how to engrave the 
brackets seen in the attached image, labeled "even". (Hopefully it's OK to 
attach small images?) This is an indication in a jazz chart (where eighth notes 
are normally interpreted as "swung eighths) to instead play these rhythms as 
"straight eighths."

Thanks for any advice.

Alec
