Some time back I chose this missing bracket as a theme for a Scheme exercise. 
Nothing revolutionary, just to get some practice in Scheme. 
It has the limitations arising from misusing Arpeggio. 

I found it needed a lot of different tweaks to get it to fit each situation, 
so it ended up with the tweak options packed into a single string parameter. 

My Scheme stuff is ready for beta testing, 
but that would need an instruction manual explaining the tweaks. 
I had to interrupt this documentation work a few months back, 
and could probably resume fairly soon. 

It would be nice if something like this could have its own engraver 
and so avoid the Arpeggio-sharing limitations. 


Using my thumbBracket code in the demo file,  
Oscar's first bar would read something like 

\new Staff = "down" {
  \clef bass
  \set tieWaitForNote = ##t
  \times 2/3 { cis,8~ d~ \thBr "R4001" a~ } <cis, d a>4
  \times 2/3 { d,8~ fis~ \thBr "R" d'~ } <d, fis d'>4
  \bar "||"
}


Cheers,
Robin
