RESULT
Brackets appear at the start and end of the selected tie chains when Bracket until end of tie
chain is activated, and only around the rst note/chord when it is deactivated.
If you activated Bracket until end of tie chain for a single note in a bracketed chord, the bracket
on the rst chord is not split but an additional bracket appears at the end of the tie chain for the
selected note only. If you deactivated
Bracket until end of tie chain for a single note in a
bracketed chord whose other notes are bracketed to the end of the tie chain, the bracket at the
end of the tie chain is split.
If you selected notes on tablature, the automatic brackets shown around the second note/chord
and all subsequent notes/chords in tie chains are updated to follow your property setting.

Splitting brackets on chords
You can split brackets on any notehead within a chord. By default, Dorico SE automatically shows
a single bracket for all notes in a chord unless it contains very large gaps, in which case Dorico SE
automatically splits brackets.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the individual notes in chords immediately above where you want to split brackets.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Break bracket in the Bracketed Noteheads group.
RESULT
Brackets are split immediately below the selected notes.
