Hey Mark, Thank you for your response. Yes I considered the arpeggio bracket option, but the problem is I'm using that extensively throughout the edition to indicate right-hand chords, so I wanted something that looks a little different to avoid confusion. A staff brace would seem ideal, but I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how to manipulate one into the middle of the staff.
I suppose I could just use another solution (such as small notes), but this looks rather elegant so I'd like to stick at it if possible. Brent.
