This is a good start, but the brackets are only in whole spaces (no halves), and only go up to 4 spaces, as you note.

I've uploaded my bracket library to http://files.aaron.sherber.com/brackets.zip for anyone who's interested. It's not a perfect solution either, but it works well for me.

The brackets are set to automatically position themselves horizontally. When applying a bracket, click on the *bottom* note of the double stop; you may need to nudge the artic a little bit to get it vertically correct. If the double stop has accidentals, you will also need to nudge the artic horizontally.

Feel free to alter/distribute.

Aaron.
