Hello. I am preparing a musicological document in which one figure shows overlapping tetrachords. I want to do \stopGroup and immediate \startGroup (with the bracket on the other Y side of the staff) on the same note, but LP won't do it. It looks like analysis brackets can be nested, but not overlapping.
What's the best way to go about this? I found several things in archives about drawing brackets as spanners without HorizontalBracket engraver, but is there a simpler way to just override the Horizontal Brackets behavior? Here's my minimal example: \version "2.11" \header{title="Overlapping Tetrachords" } \score { \relative c'' { \set Score.defaultBarType = "" \override Score.HorizontalBracket #'bracket-flare = #'(0 . 0) \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #-1 g1\startGroup \mark\markup\tiny{1} a \mark\markup\tiny{1} b \mark\markup\tiny{1/2,etc.} %The important part: c\stopGroup % \startGroup on the same note is what I want to do, but can't % with Bracket on top like this: \once\override Score.HorizontalBracket #'direction = #1 d\startGroup^\markup{I want this bracket to start on the C} e f\stopGroup } \layout{ ragged-last = ##t \context { \Staff \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver" } } } I also couldn't find a way to get the \mark inside the bracket instead of outside, but that's secondary.
