How to correct horizontal position when bracketing / bracing instruments?
I have transcribed a work for double string orchestra, trying to copy the layout of the original 1924 published score.
The auto-positioning of the brackets is fine: one bracket covers Orchestra A, the other covers Orchestra B. But the horizontal positioning of the braces is inconsistent for Orchestra A: the attached score (MSCZ format) shows that the brace for Cellos and D-Basses is overlapping the bracket.
Is there any workaround for this, or is this a straight bug?
Many thanks for advice.

I vote it's a bug...
but to fix it
delete all 3 brackets on orchestra A
Insert the square bracket around the orchestra
insert the curly brackets
I've found order of entry very important and at times illogical.

Thank you so much for helping me to resolve the problem: I followed your steps and it worked perfectly...
The music can be heard on the Rootham website:

At least there's a workaround with the development version: Select the brace and change the column to "2" inside the inspector.
