Re: Horizontal bracket with dashed edges - possible?

I have a horizontal bracket with lengthened edges.  I want the edges to be dashed, but I can't see a way to do this without the horizontal part being dashed as well.  Is there a simple solution, or do I just have to draw an extra solid line over the part I don't want dashed?

I think the easiest is to remove the automatically drawn edges and add yours, e.g.,

\version "2.24.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override HorizontalBracket.edge-height = #'(0 . 0)
    \override HorizontalBracket.stencil =
      #(grob-transformer 'stencil (lambda (grob original) (grob-interpret-markup grob
          #{
            \markup
            \put-adjacent #X #LEFT
              \put-adjacent #X #RIGHT
                \stencil #original
                \draw-dashed-line #'(0.5 . 1)
            \draw-dashed-line #'(-0.5 . 1)
          #})))
  }
}
