This is just what I needed. Thanks! @Thomas/Harm: Hauptstimme and Nebenstimme brackets are used to show which voices in a thick texture are the most important ones. My understanding is that they were first invented by Schoenberg, but this could be incorrect. There is a little information on the English Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptstimme , but the German Wikipedia article it links to appears to be about something rather different. (My German is not good enough to tell for certain, though, sorry!) ~Nick Baskin -- And she forgot the stars, the moon, and sun, And she forgot the blue above the trees, And she forgot the dells where waters run, And she forgot the chilly autumn breeze... — Keats, "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil"
