Condense notes with brackets?

[Eggi]

I have 3 trumpets with brackets, second and third should be together. Unfortunately, the brackets are lost when condensing. I can bracket them later by hand, but should it actually work automatically or is there another possibility or is it not yet implemented at all?

Could you say a bit more about what you are exactly trying to achieve? Something like this?

Here in the last bar the wind instruments

and after the merging brackets are missing

There are a few things that go missing and need to be reapplied after condensing - like the property of tuplets to be hidden, for example.

I have opened a feature request somewhere that if a manually set property of all condensed notes is the same (like in “every note’s tuplet number is hidden” or your case of “every note has brackets”) then that property should also be set for the condensed result.

Thanks for the info…

Just out of curiosity, what do the parentheses on those note signify? Optional notes?

[Estigy]

I guess they are “ghost notes”, a quite common playing technique in jazz music where those notes are much quieter than the rest of the phrase.
