Bracket layers + Width axis = export error

Hi there

I’m working on a multi-axis setup with both a Weight and Width axis.

In this setup, I want to switch the glyph shape when the width goes below 99.

I’ve tried using Alternate (Bracket) Layers, but I can’t get it to work — I keep getting an export error.

This makes me wonder if I’ve set up the alternate layer incorrectly.

I’ve attached a Glyphs file for reference.

Alternate Layer.glyphs (1.1 MB)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :folded_hands:

You need to add a bracket layer for all masters, even when those are never seen.

You would have to add bracket layers for every master.

Better to use an alternate glyph in this case. See the Switching shapes tutorial.

BTW just adding the max value for the bracket layer suffices if the min value coincides with the axis minimum:

Thank you so much! I’ll try that
