Re: Bracket with text label

[SoundsFromSound]

Hi Alec,

Welcome to the community! :)

I'm glad you got that question sorted out. One thing I wanted to mention:

The include of english.ly allows you to use English names for sharps and
flats, however you now can use *\language "english" *instead of the include.

I believe that is the preferred way for English names, from my
understanding.

Good luck!
