Re: drawing brackets spanning multiple staves - spacing issue

[Eby Mani]

Can anyone help me with this ?.

here is my code, the note column won't shift on the second staff, even if you 
put Score.NoteColumn in the "left hand" section.

Thanks.

 Thanks Harm !, this is working for 1st staff
 and 3rd staff (pipe organ), not sure why the NoteColumns are
 not shifting for the 2nd staff.
 
 I'm using \partcombine for the manual
 staffs.
 
 Attached image.
