hmm, how about: "Starts drawing a square bracket above the notes from the cursor. Use End Ligature to mark the place where the bracket should end. Used in transcribing mensural music notation." "End drawing a square bracket above the notes. Must be preceded by a Start Ligature earlier in the same staff." Is it used expecting syllables to skip? The display won't do this without C programming, but I think you could work around by inserting underscores in the lyrics. This could get mentioned if it is an issue.
