That is a good idea, but it doesn't always work, since in orchestral
scores, brackets are often comnibed with curly braces (besides, a
curly brace on three staves doesn't have the same thickness than a
curly brace on two staves, etc.)... so I just focused on the
instrument names when rewriting this snippet.

IMHO, the point is: it would be great if instrument names (or
ShortInstrumentNames) could be aligned to the left of the page,
regardless of what's coming on the right. I don't know if this is
possible (I somehow doubt it). But the discussion isn't over...
