There is http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=843 (which could be rewritten in a more simple way, though) In general, in the LSR-snippet the brackets are defined using \path, Pierre combines \draw-line. Both is tedious, so I defined a markup-command doing this, see below. Also, both are going for a text-spanner, with the disadvantage not being able to position the brackets over a bar-line other then by moving them, with the need to find the values by try and error. And as soon as the layout changes the values must be reworked... Thus I refused to define a Spanner, but used RehearsalMark. Ofcourse equal vertical position over the Staff can't be warranted anymore, which may be an issue sometimes.
