I am currently using \left-brace as a means for grouping multiple lyric
lines:
%%%%
\version "2.19.80"
lyricBracket = \markup {
\hspace #1 \translate #'(0 . 0.75) \left-brace #40
}
\relative c' { c4 d e2 | g8 f e4 c2 }
\addlyrics {
\repeat unfold 3 \skip 1
Mul -- ti -- ple lines
}
\addlyrics {
Sin -- gle line
\set stanza = \lyricBracket
Mul -- ti -- ple lines
}
\addlyrics {
\repeat unfold 3 \skip 1
Mul -- ti -- ple lines
}
%%%%
This works fine, with a little manual adjustment of the brace size and
spacing. However, I would prefer to use a square bracket instead of the
curly brace. It seems like I will have to manually "draw" the bracket
using markup functions and/or custom PostScript.
Has anyone here attempted something like this and can offer advice?
