Re: Using \lookup to extract glyphs

[Mats Bengtsson]

It would be nice if the argument was the desired height measured in 
points (or perhaps in staff spaces)
instead of the current numerical argument where you need a lot of trial 
and error.
If it was in points, then you could easily relate it to the height of 
one staff, which is 20pt by default.

Unfortunately, it seems that the mapping from brace number to height is 
non-linear (possibly
piecewise linear). I don't have the time right now to figure out the 
exact relationship.
