Hi!

This patchs allows to add braces the same way as arpeggios.
Very useful for complex organ music.
Check this out, there is several examples:
http://imslp.org/wiki/12_Pi%C3%A8ces_pour_Orgue_(Gigout,_Eug%C3%A8ne)

For the moment, the new engraver is a clone of Arpeggio_engraver.
But I would like to add a command to attach text directly to braces (see  
IMSLP's
score). Since there's many cases for the text attachment points, I think a  
new
engraver is required.

Done with Mike's help.

The regression test is temporary.

Regards,
Bertrand
