When writing long equations using amstex split, is there a way to match delimiter sizes from one line to the next? Since we're "forced" to close them before the line breaks (using \right.), I'm not sure I understand how LaTeX would know from one line to the next which size to use (hence the difference in sizes).
In other words, in this equation:
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
E_z = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _0} \int _{-h_-} ^{h_+} \left[ \frac{2 \left( z - z' \right) ^2 - r^2}{R^5} \int _{-\infty} ^t I \left( z' , \dfrac{\tau - R}{c} \right) {\rm d} \tau \right. \\
\left. \frac{2 \left( z - z' \right) ^2 - r^2}{cR^4} I \left( z' , \dfrac{\tau - R}{c} \right) - \frac{r^2}{c^2R^3} \frac{\partial I I \left( z' , \dfrac{\tau - R}{c} \right)}{\partial t} \right] {\rm d} z'
\end{split}
\end{equation}
the square brackets on the first line are considerably smaller than the square brackets on the second line.
\left\rightuse\bigl(...\bigr)(or for a term like( z - z')just use normal ()\left \rightthere is unwanted anyway. – David Carlisle Apr 20 '20 at 19:56\biggl [ ... \biggr ](and remove the corresponding\left [ ... \right.and\left.. \right ]. You have 4 sizes, in increasing order:\big, \Big, \biggand\Bigg. – Bernard Apr 20 '20 at 19:57
