You can put TextSpanners on spacer note. However, then spacer notes space out
the notes that I actually want to bracket. Additionally, it would really be
annoying to do this for real; bars full of semiquavers, demisemiquavers and the
like....
\version "2.10.33"
textspan = {
\override TextSpanner #'shorten-pair = #'(-1.3 . -0.8)
\override TextSpanner #'staff-padding = #1.0
\override TextSpanner #'padding = #0.5
\override TextSpanner #'minimum-length = #1.0
\override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #0.95
\override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(1.2 . 1.2)
}
su = \startTextSpan
eu = \stopTextSpan
rhythm = \relative c'' { c4 c c c } %want bracket over second note
brackets = \relative c' { f8 f16\su f\eu } %spacer notes do work
% these are here so i can see them
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "rhythm" { \voiceOne << \textspan \rhythm >> }
\new Voice = "bracket" { \voiceTwo << \textspan \brackets >> }
>>
}
