To move or stretch a bracket

  1. Click the Staff tool  image\Staff_Tool.gif. Handles appear on every group bracket in the document.
  2. Drag the bottom handle up or down. Drag the top handle left, right, up, or down. When you drag the top handle horizontally, the entire bracket moves. When you drag either handle vertically, you can make it appear to enclose even non-grouped staves.
  3. Select a bracket handle and press BACKSPACE to revert a bracket to its default length (so it encloses the staves of a group).
