Hey Andrew, Wow, this looks like exactly like my score! Thank you very much, I managed to tweak the values of this code to get exactly the shape I needed.
On a side note, in my searches I noticed it's now possible to define
different barline types, and the bracket type looks like it would also do
the job very well here... but I can't get the brace to span both staves
without having 'horns' (there seems to be some weird spanning behaviour
too):
\version "2.19.65"
\defineBarLine "[" #'("" "[" ".")
\defineBarLine "]" #'("]" "" ".")
upper = {
c''4 \bar "[" 4 4 \bar "]" 4
}
lower = {
\clef bass
c4 4 4 4
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff {
\upper
}
\new Staff {
\lower
}
>>
}
Any ideas? I'm stumped.
Brent.
