Default every track will be exported as a separate staff/part. However some 
instrument, like a piano, is usual noted on two staffs. In a score the staffs 
which belongs to such multistaff instrument are grouped by means of a brace.

The exporter can ignore multi staff instruments and export all tracks as 
separate parts ("None") or it can create multistaff instruments. To do so 
successive tracks must be assigned to the same instrument and the tracks must 
be grouped by a brace. So the bracket type first track of the multistaff 
instrument should be "{--" and last track must have the bracket type "--}".
However in Rosegarden such a brace group can be inside a bracket group ("{[--" 
and "--]}" bracket types).
With this option you tell the exporter to ignore multistaff instruments at all 
("None") or they should grouped by a brace only ("{--}") or the braces may be 
inside a bracket ("{[ -- ]}").

I hope this explain what I meant.

You may have noticed English is not my native language :-)

Please don't feel guilty. I'm glad somebody have a look over it and correct 
all kind of typos and other errors or make it even better understandable.

I can speak for myzelf only but you will not offend me by making things 
better!
