[MEI-L] Thin brackets in orchestral scores

[Johannes Kepper]

Of course you need to use a nested staffGrp to encode the fact of a subgroup – otherwise you wouldn't have the means to place a @symbol. So when you plan to encode the graphics, you need to encode the meaning in the first place…

In my ignorance about such details, I would probably encode that as a line, and ignore the fact that it is connected on both ends. In manuscripts, there would probably be no difference between this and either brackets or lines. But maybe you're right, and we should include the additional value. @Perry, do I remember correctly that you spotted some values in MusicXML not currently supported by MEI anyway? Is this an opportunity to revise them?
