Absolutely — that’s a great solution.

Hi Kieren and Rutger,

Unfortunately I can't use this solution because I need to do the opposite: I have to fake a TupletBracket with a HorizontalBracket.

I observed that TupletBracket is very buggy on cross-staff music. The padding properties are 1) blacklisted in the code itself or 2) lead to weird behavior (see this thread:  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-01/msg00482.html  ). 

And I observed that I don't have these issues with HorizontalBracket...

The other (more flexible and configurable) solution is David Nalesnik’s MeasureAttachedSpanner.

Are you referring to this?

IIUC it only applies on a full measure, and not on a group of notes.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Best,

P

 

Cheers,
Kieren.
