Oh dear. A "spannatore" is already a "demister" - the thing that makes
the mist disappear from your car windows. So these things serve to
demistify the brackets?
"Spannatrice" is much rarer, the feminine form that doesn't collide
with the demister.
Tiresia, what effect would finding these words in a lilypond error
message have on a normal Italian person?
