Often music engravers will use an L-shaped bracket to indicate
hand-distributions that contradict the note-placement within the
staves. Off the top of my head, I can't think of an easy way to
do this in LilyPond without abusing commands, but visually, that's
the engraving approach I would recommend in this case. Perhaps I
can look into a way of doing this. Does anyone have a suggestion?
