414: Problems creating sub-brackets - hidden when creating.

When you create a sub-bracket from Create > Other > Bracket or Brace > Sub-Bracket you may find that the bracket disappears and it is therefore very difficult to extend it to cover other instruments.

This is because sub-brackets do not normally appear on a single instrument and are therefore hidden when only covering one staff. To see the bracket go to View > Hidden Objects (Ctrl + Alt + H or Command + Alt + H) and the bracket will then appear in grey - you can then click on it and drag it to cover another staff. At this point the bracket will be visible again (black, not grey).
