+Symbol at the start of a system connecting staves.

+Curly braces are used for connecting piano staves, and sometimes for connecting
+the staves of like instruments in an orchestral score when written on different
+staves (e.g. first and second flutes):

Device indicating the exact tempo of a piece.
+Invented ca. 1812 by Dietrich Nikolaus Winkler of Amsterdam, but takes its name
+from Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, who copied the device, added a scale of tempo
+divisions, and patented it as a "metronome". The inevitable lawsuit that
+followed acknowledged Winkler as the creator, but by then Mälzel had already
+sold many of them, and people had taken to calling it a Mälzel Metronome.
