4.7.6 Analysis brackets

Brackets are used in musical analysis to indicate structure in musical pieces. LilyPond supports a simple form of nested horizontal brackets. To use this, add the Horizontal_bracket_engraver (lilypond-internals) to Staff (lilypond-internals) context. A bracket is started with \startGroup and closed with \stopGroup:

     \score { \notes \relative c'' {
     	c4\startGroup\startGroup
     	c4\stopGroup
     	c4\startGroup
             c4\stopGroup\stopGroup
       }
       \paper { \translator {
     	    \StaffContext \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
     	}}}
