Feature Request: opening and closing brackets
Can we have opening and closing brackets to indicate that both staves (or a range of notes) have to be played with both hands (often on one manual).
These brackets are commonly used in organ music, in particular in popular organ music.
The opening brackets are already present in the Arpeggio palette.
If we could have the exact same but only mirrored, that would be great.

The brackets are present in the Master palette. Under Symbols, Keyboard techniques are opening and closing brackets for Play with left and right hands. These are split brackets as in the images provided with the request. For full brackets I have used the pair under Symbols, Time signatures supplement and expanded them as needed, but they will not cross from one staff to another.

The split brackets under under Symbols, Keyboard techniques come closest.
It would be nice if the length could be changed to create a sort of overlap.
The mirrored arpeggio-sign would definately best suit our need and technically easy to realize.
