__Bracket Notes will add a vertical bracket line to the left of selected notes. If more than 2 notes in a chord are selected, the highest and lowest notes will be connected. __It cannot make horizontal space for added lines, so you will need to do that manually. The vertical position of the line will usually be correct, but you will likely need horizontal adjustments. __This can be very useful for adding double-stop indicators in string parts. __The code that figures out the stem direction for notes in Sibelius 6 was graciously provided by Neil Sands, and I thank him for allowing me to include it in this plugin. __Updated 18 February 2019. Version 01.20.00. In Sib 7.1.3 or later, lines added to the first note or a bar will cause the bar to be respacaed to avoid the barline. __Updated 18 February 2019. Version 01.20.10. Increased dialog size to avoid text truncation on Macs. __Updated 5 September 2023. Version 01.20.11. Updated for subset support. Updated 20 September 2024. Version 01.20.10. Removed unintended debug traces.
