I think your best bet is a line (from the Smart Shapes palette). If you need a line of different width to match the width of the repeat ending brackets, you can create a Custom Line. The disadvantage of a smart shape is, of course, that smart shapes don't have staff lists. But that doesn't appear to be a problem in this case.
