Hello Fennel, That will not work out easily. The horizontal bracket, meaning it is printed to encompass certain NoteColumns. But you are not even creating notes, but simply skipping. Thus there are no NoteColumns to encompass. So what you’d need to do is to replace the skips by notes:
brackets = \new Dynamics {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #DOWN
c4 c\startGroup c c\stopGroup | c\startGroup c c\stopGroup c
}
Then this will still not work, as the Dynamics context does not create any
NoteColumns by default. So you’ll need to add Rhythmic_column_engraver. But to
actually have something to encompass you’d need to have a stencils, so you’d
need to also add the Note_heads_engraver.
Then you’d need to get rid of the note heads, but you still need a stencil, so
do something like
\layout {
\context {
\Dynamics
\consists Horizontal_bracket_engraver
\override HorizontalBracket.direction = #UP
\consists Note_heads_engraver
\consists Rhythmic_column_engraver
\override NoteHead.stencil = #(ly:make-stencil '() '(0 . 0) '(0 . 0))
}
}
But then I’m curious of what you actually want to get from adding analysis
brackets to a Dynamics context?
Cheers,
Valentin
