I have this snippet:
\version "2.24.3"
\layout {
\context { \Voice
\consists Horizontal_bracket_engraver
}
}
\relative c'' {
a8 a b\startGroup b\stopGroup << {c4 d} \\ {a2} >>
}
[image.png]
I’d like for the bracket to extend to the end of the bar. Of course the “simple
solution” a8 a b\startGroup b << {c4 d\stopGroup} \\ {a2} >> or in the other
voice compiles but throws a warning and fails to produce the correct output
because the start and stop are scoped differently. I include the beams on the
first 2 beats because the project I’m working on requires that beam remain
intact and have correct stem direction. If at all possible, keeping the first
half of the bar in the single outer voice would be fantastic. Is there a way
around the voice problem or a way to tweak the length of the spanner beyond the
specified endpoint?
