Re: Odp: fingering

[Albert Einstein]

Do you know something about marking barre ? 
-- I want to use for marking barre arpeggio bracket, but I have problem
in polyphony syntax because I can't connect chord with bottom pitch.
 I tried {\arpeggioBracket <a b>4 \arpeggio  } // {\arpeggioBracket a
\arpeggio } -- the problem is that I obtained 2 bracket not one.
