An improvement is attached.

It's written for more current development versions (> 2.19.26), but
there are two line switches you can do if you're running an older
version of LilyPond.  (See code comments in
measure-attached-spanner::print.)

The advantage of using a later version is that you can vary the line
style of the bracket.

Best,
David

P. S. : Technical note: the break-aligned stuff in the print function
is not necessary at the moment, but is included because the goal is to
allow the bracket edges to have variable alignment with prefatory
material.  Right now, we just align to the end of the prefatory
material on the left and the beginning of any end material on the
right.
