Re: Brackets/TextSpan when connecting notes on different lines

[Rachel Green]

I figured it out!!! Right-broken and left-broken were the settings I needed to 
adjust.

upperBracket = { %upperBracket
  \override TextSpanner.style = #'line
  \override TextSpanner.to-barline = ##f
  \override TextSpanner.direction = #UP
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details =
  #`(
   (left
    (text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . -.6) } #})
    (Y . 0)
    (padding . 0.25)
    (attach-dir . -2)
   )
   (right
    (text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . -.6) } #})
    (Y . 0)
    (padding . 0.25)
    (attach-dir . 2)
    )
   (right-broken
    (text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . 0) } #})
    (Y . 0)
    (padding . 0.25)
    (attach-dir . 2)
    )
   (left-broken
    (text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . 0) } #})
    (Y . 0)
    (padding . 0.25)
    (attach-dir . -0.5)
    )
   )
}
