Question:
Is it always the case that staves that bracket together (with flared
brackets, square brackets, piano braces, whatever) also always *bar*
together?
There are two obvious exceptions:
1. The "global" bracket that (about half the time) groups together the
entire orchestra obviously doesn't result in barlines stretching
through the entire orchestra; examples are Varèse's Intégrales, Dalla
piccola's Piccola musica notturna, Boulez's Marteau sans maître, etc.
2. Scores without barlines may still have brackets; Babbit's
Post-Partitions is four staves for the piano, witha bracket but
(almost) no barlines.
But aside from these two exceptions, is it the case that brackets
*always* result in barlines? Or is the generalization false?
