When I went back to look at the piece that I did for my wife, I realized that I had a couple of problems. The first is that in lever harp music, sometimes the brackets must overlap. I had trouble to do this. The other problem is that in many printed editions, the brackets are frequently angled to follow the pitch-contour. The version that I used at the time was 2.8.1. This version did not contain the rotation property so I have not used it here. It would be interesting to know though if it could be made to work for this. My solution at the time was to import a .eps file into Adobe Illustrator and do the final adjustments there. Hope some of this is useful to you.
