I figured it out!!! Right-broken and left-broken were the settings I needed to
adjust.
upperBracket = { %upperBracket
\override TextSpanner.style = #'line
\override TextSpanner.to-barline = ##f
\override TextSpanner.direction = #UP
\override TextSpanner.bound-details =
#`(
(left
(text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . -.6) } #})
(Y . 0)
(padding . 0.25)
(attach-dir . -2)
)
(right
(text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . -.6) } #})
(Y . 0)
(padding . 0.25)
(attach-dir . 2)
)
(right-broken
(text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . 0) } #})
(Y . 0)
(padding . 0.25)
(attach-dir . 2)
)
(left-broken
(text . ,#{ \markup { \draw-line #'( 0 . 0) } #})
(Y . 0)
(padding . 0.25)
(attach-dir . -0.5)
)
)
}
