Ah, I see. In North America, a "bracket" is normally called a "bar". > | | | | | | | | You can force that behaviour by including invisible sixteenth notes in every bar. (or, if you use notes faster than a 16th, use invisible 32nds) However, unless your needs are quite special (such as producing a worksheet for students to fill in), I don't recommend doing this.

Are you setting the midiInstrument property instead of instrument?
