Re: Analysis brackets

[Michael Taylor]

Dear David,

Many thanks for this. I was curious about the curly analysis brackets when I saw this in Snippets http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=curly but couldn't figure out how (or if) these 

shapes could be used for what I wanted. The only application I could find was to group an 

ensemble within a larger instrumental contingent.

With best wishes

Michael

HorizontalBracketText.direction with a little more tweaking than
should be necessary.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
    \override HorizontalBracket.direction = #UP
  }
}

{
  \once\override HorizontalBracketText.direction = #DOWN
  \once\override HorizontalBracketText.text = "a"
  \once\override HorizontalBracketText.padding = #-0.5
  \once\override HorizontalBracket.padding = 1
  c''\startGroup d''\stopGroup
}
