Thanks for the patch, I'm putting it in. Some notes:
* We're getting a plethora of brackets. It would be nice if we could
merge all the code into a single .cc file, and have a single
bracket-interface, which would group all the layout properties of
those brackets. Other code (bass figure, piano pedal, tuplet,
etc.) could use functions of the Bracket_interface to print brackets.
* Perhaps your brackets are useful in more contexts? LigatureBracket
seems too specific a name. In musical analysis it's also quite
common to delineate section using brackets, isn't it?
