Brent,

 

As to No. 1, perhaps a cross staff arpeggio/bracket?

Hi all,

 

So I'm working on a score at the moment and have run into two challenges:

 

1. Does anybody have an idea how to insert large, cross-staff square braces 
(effectively parenthesizing the entire staff) as in the link below? I have no 
idea how to even start.

2. I would like to parenthesize a couple of two-note chords in the tenor part. 
Has anybody come up with a decent way to put parentheses around entire chords 
yet? I've rummaged around the old threads but can't really find anything that 
fits the bill. 

 

The below example shows the two chords I need; the solution to the second one 
kind of works because the chord has a middle note that can be parenthesized and 
made invisible (and I assume the dot as well, although I haven't figured that 
out yet), then the parenthesis enlarged to span the entire chord. But the chord 
before it doesn't, and I can't figure out a way to either move or centre the 
parentheses:

 

 

\version "2.19.65"

 

\relative c' { \override ParenthesesItem.font-size = #3

\key es \major

<f  as> < bes \hide \parenthesize g es>2.

}

 

 

I would be grateful for any help.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Brent.
