This patch contains many copy/paste from the arpeggio engraver. We obviously
need a new grob, since the braces need some special grob parameters like
font-encoding=fetaBraces. But this doesn't necessarily require to add an
engraver that would be a copy/paste from arpeggio-engraver.
My other wish is to add text to braces, so that it can be used for  
annotations.
I am close to a good solution, but still need some time to finish it.
I hope this will be finished in a few weeks.

Thanks,
