Description

Your idea

Introduce options for secondary brackets within stave sharing groups, dynamically changing to reflect the instruments currently held by players (following instrument changes).

  • Draw secondary brackets across:
    • Same instruments with the same transposition (default)
    • Same instruments regardless of transposition
    • All instruments
Problem to be solved

Same instruments with the same transposition:

Same instruments regardless of transposition:

All instruments:

No response

Additional context

Note that group labels should only be used when all instruments in a secondary bracket are of identical type and transposition. This should be determined by context for any system, not by the setting for secondary brackets itself.
