David,
Thanks - but it's now complaining about the dot!
I may try upgrading over the weekend - but really must get down to the piano
practice!
Best regards,
Peter

David,
Thanks again. Comments below.
You're very welcome!
That didn't work - LP complains about an unwanted comma. Replacing by a space
or adding spaces don't work either. I'm still trying to work my head around the
meta-syntax (which doesn't seem to be documented) in the Notation manual's
appendix A which is the only place that \alterBroken appears.
Oh, oops. That comma should be a dot. Sometimes I can't see the difference!
So Score.SystemStartBrace ...
The documention in "Available music functions" that you're reading is all there
is for 2.16. Full documentation wasn't written for the function until syntax
changes had happened to it. There is complete documentation for 2.18 at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-broken-spanners
You can use the examples there in 2.16 by swapping arguments, but you can't use
\alterBroken as a tweak (which is the chief advantage gained by the reordering
of arguments).
You might consider upgrading, as there have been quite a few improvements to
LilyPond besides this!
