Hello, Not sure if it corresponds to your request, but it is possible to get hairpins between brackets by changing the stencil of Parentheses. #(define-public (bracket-stencils grob) (let ((lp (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:fontsize 3.5 #:translate (cons -0.3 -0.5) "["))) (rp (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:fontsize 3.5 #:translate (cons 0 -0.5) "]")))) (list lp rp))) { \override Parentheses.stencils = #bracket-stencils c'1-\parenthesize \< | c'1\! } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>
