Sorry for lack of clearness. I meant brackets. I was looking for some graphical object which can be aligned to edges of StaffSymbol independently to duration of current note/rest/space. Rest seems to shift slightly to left if previous note-duration is longer. some non-rhythmical object would suit here better, i think. Of course - all these things can be done with extra-offset for every grob. But I want to avoid that. > > > > > 2.

I would rather think of it as a coloristic effect than rhythmic complexity. On the other hand why to write lots of (strange) tuplets which would be performed approximately? and on the other other hand - very few people "unfold" trills... :) And at last: I believe this is available in lilypond?
