Re: Square brackets around multiple optional notes

Hello all!
I'd like to place optional notes in square brackets like it's done here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/squarebrackets.png/
I tried markup and setting extra-offset, but then my lyrics is placed in wrong place if some bracket should be placed above the lyrics. Also, bracket placement is tied to note, so it's really hard to align them all.
Here is the example. I've intentionally moved the bracket some notes to the left to show the problem.
\version "2.14.1"
\score{
 <<
       \new Voice = "one" {
       \cadenzaOn
       \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-3 . 8)
       \relative c'
       {e4 (f) g2 f2 (g1) f2 f-\markup {\abs-fontsize #40 "["} (e f4 e f g2. f8 e4 f1) \bar "|."}
       \cadenzaOff
   }
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \lyricmode {Те -- бе, Го -- спо -- ди. }
 >>
}
Any other suggestions?

Svetlana.

Svetlana,

Have you tried messing with this snippet yet? http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=377 It looks somewhat similar to what you're after.

Cheers,

Nick
