Thank you for this little function Lukas! It is very good and useful. Would
it be possible to add to the list the choice for "square" or "bracket"? Some
editions are using squares for grouping Violins 1-2.

As suggested by David, it would be then enough "user-level" and complete to
be documented, don't you think?
