I plan to change the docstring to

  A pointer to the text grob of an analysis bracket.

Thanks a lot!

I now wonder whether it make sense to orthogonalize the property names
(to a certain extent).  For example, I can imagine that all properties
that are pointers to grobs have a final `-grob` or `-grobs` in their
names.  Thus:

  bracket-text-grob
  all-element-grobs
  concurrent-hairpin-grobs
  ...

I plan to use

  A pointer to the text grob of a mixed-style piano pedal.
