If you look closely, however, you'll see that it is stretched vertically-- not in a literal, Finale-like way, but in an elegant way that keeps the middle of each brace about the same width (about 3 pixels across) in your PNG. Additionally, the thick part of the curve in the larger brace is less wide to help match the weight of the smaller brace. I submitted another example to try to show this more clearly. The reference is a Debussy score (1st prelude of the 2nd book). I guess "stretched vertically" is a bit vague; I guess what I'm seeing is that as braces get larger, they are less thick than a perfectly scaled version of the smaller brace.
