How do we tell musixtex to put a brace and not a bracket to the left of the
group ?

The musixtex docs seem to make a distinction between instruments and voices and
to indicate that the style of the group bracket depends on this distinction.

Another problem arises when \setsize2\smallvalue is defined for the right hand
piano staff. Then the bracket stops at the fourth - not the fifth - noteline.
See the mtx source (the recitativo from the Legrenzi cantat) at the bottom of
this posting.
