Analysis brackets

Brackets are used in musical analysis to indicate structure in musical pieces. Simple horizontal brackets are supported.

     
     \layout {
       \context {

         \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
       }
     }
     \relative c'' {
       c2\startGroup
       d\stopGroup
     }
