Is there some way to group and bracket all rhythm section instruments?

Dorico

I am doing a jazz combo chart where I want the score to show:

Vocal

Trumpet
Tenor
Bone

Piano
Bass
Drums

I have grouped the three horns. And I have grouped the three rhy instruments. Bur I have tried all the Engraving options I can see and I can only get the horns to group with a brace. I cannot get a brace or bracket around the rhythm section instruments. Am I missing something?

You’re not, I’m afraid. Dorico provides a fairly limited set of bracketing behaviours and we don’t yet have the means of providing overrides that would allow you to do this, though it’s a pretty high priority and I hope we’ll be able to address this in the near future.

Yes, thanks Daniel ! That and labelling options would be awsome :wink:
