# Double-braces

## Creating the ligature \(Roman\)

1. 
![Settings for the middle guide for the Roman ligature](../../.gitbook/assets/image%20%281%29.png)

For whichever brace is the "inner-brace", change the dimensions as so, changing only the size \(the `%` in the middle column\) and the rotation \(the right most setting\):

![Settings for the dimensions of the inner-brace](../../.gitbook/assets/image%20%283%29.png)

Move the left-most brace to the left and the right-most brace to the left so the top/bottom parts cross the middle guide and the numbers are like so:

Create a new guide  and move the guide so it intersects the pointy inner-corner of the larger brace

Move the smaller brace vertically \(up/down\) so the two pointy inner-corner bits cross like so:
