Re: Manipulating instrument names and staff group names

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello josh,

To get that you need to draw your postscript code centered, so instead of 
going from Y=0 to Y=-height go from Y=height/2 to Y=-height/2.

But the problem is not really getting the bracket, it is getting the height.

Cheers,
Valentin
