Default Re: Any plans to add "Bracket" (non-arpeggio)

I'm glad that you're finding Composer helpful in your music!

It's my understanding that one bracket type in harp music looks like this:

For this type of bracket annotation, you can "cheat" for the score, and use a piano Pedal marking (Expression/Pedal marks, and use the first type of pedal mark). It the bracket "hooks" need to point the other way, I'm afraid I don't have so nice a workaround at present, but I could put it on the "wish list"

If you want to use a text bracket eg. [ and ], you can use Free Text (Text, Free text) and place those in the score where ever you wish.

If I'm totally missing the boat here, please do enlighten me - it's always good to learn more

ttfn,
Sherry
