Hi Chris,

no idea what it means.
Though, you could reproduce it with:
(after http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=Hauptstimme )

\version "2.16.2"

endBracket = \markup \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0) {
  \path #0.15 #'((moveto -0.5 0.2)
                 (lineto 2 0.2)
                 (lineto 2 -2.5))
}

\relative c'' {
    <a f'>8[
    <a e'>]
    ^\endBracket
}


Cheers,
