Once again, a zero tuplet bracket or just a bracket like that
for staff grouping but spanning the notes and chords in question
would be a novel solution but the only solution that could be
applied to absolutely any combination of notes whatsoever.

Stems which are not vertical require an ugly placement of
note heads or worse. There is no way around that. Keeping all
stems vertical must be part of an elegant solution.

Depending on authorities is a mistake. There is no such thing
as an authority on music notation.

Kindest regards, Rale
