Annotating score with lipper

Question

I use lilypond (2.12.3-1, on mac) and latex to write a short summary on music theory. Therefore, I need to annotate a simple scale, as in this example (I do not need red squares):

The only thing I found was the brackets for analysis ( http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=426 ), but they did not work; I get compilation errors.

So, I would be very happy to get some working solutions, any ideas?

Answer 1

Following:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
  }
}

\version "2.12.3" \relative c' {

  c1 \startGroup 
  d1 _\markup { \left-align { "1. Tetrachord" } } 
     \once \override HorizontalBracket #'direction = #UP
  e1 \startGroup ^\markup { \left-align { "HS" } } 
  f1 \stopGroup \stopGroup

  g1 \startGroup 
  a1 _\markup { \left-align { "2. Tetrachord" } } 
     \once \override HorizontalBracket #'direction = #UP
  b1 \startGroup ^\markup { \left-align { "HS" } } 
  c1 \stopGroup \stopGroup

}

gives:
