As Basile said, you can increase the size of the parentheses using Focus > Increase Size (while inside the group). I tried it now and, unfortunately, it seems to work only before deleting one of the brackets of the opening-closing bracket pair, which is inconvenient but of course circumventable by adding a fresh bracket pair every time the bracket on the other line changes size.

I hope Joris can step in and tell us the proper way to do this… :-)

If one of the lines has a big symbol (like an integral) and the other doesn't, then the brackets will be of different sizes. In Lyx one solves this by inserting an "invisible" symbol of matching size in the other line, that doesn't show up in the rendered document but that takes care of resizing the brackets. Is there something similar in TeXmacs?

I “solve” this by putting braces in both lines and deleting the closing brace on the first line and the opening brace on the last line (there have to be some symbols inside the brackets otherwise you cannot erase just a single side of the bracket pair as far as I remember).

I would welcome a better and more correct way to achieve what you describe, but I am unaware of one.

Cheers,
Peter.
