You're right, these shouldn't be hard to create in Metafont. But "not
hard" is quite relative in that domain ;-) (I have once started fiddling
around with existing glyphs, so I know *I* wouldn't be able to add new
glyphs).
But I think I would prefer a "drawn" solution where you can
a) configure the appearance of the brackets (thickness, length of both
lines, maybe make it dashed)
b) choose arbitrary letters.
I know that in some English scores M and S are used (for Main and
Secondary), and I think once such a tool exists people might want other
letters as well.

You're right, but actually I think this should also conceptually be done
on a drawing level.
