_Added 17 October 2020. Original Version 01.10.01. _This plugin redefines the built-in Arpeggio Up line to look like a vertical bracket. You can no longer use that line for its original purpose, but you can now add the line in the 5th keypad layout to create self-adjusting vertical brackets attached to notes for things like double stops and un-arpeggiated Harp chords. _Like many interesting ideas, this came from Philip Rothman, and this plugin is dedicated to him. _A PDF file and a House Style file will be downloaded when this plugin is installed. I suggest reading the PDF. _Each time you run this plugin on a new score you must first export a House Style named NABracket_Temp from the score. The plugin will import part of that House Style to restore possibly replaced Symbols and Text styles, and it will then delete the temporary House Style. See the PDF or Help for details. _You only need to export the House Style once per score. __Updated 13 November 2020. Version 01.10.02. Updated some of the Do Not Show Dialog code. __Updated 29 February 2024 Version 01.10.10. Previous upload did not include the House Style lib file and the explanatory PDF file. They are now included and should be installed if you reinstall with File Plug-ins Install Plug-ins.The PDF discusses some important changes made after Ultimate 2022.9. Check the Help button for more details about dealing with House Styles. It will be much easier if you are running Sibelius 2022.9 or later.
