RE: Vertical brackets with text around chords

[Abraham Lee]

Ryan & Mark,

I am glad that there's a use for this! I posted it originally, but it looks like you want it slightly different. Here's the code to do exactly what you showed in the picture:

\version "2.18.2"

rhMark = \markup { 

  \concat {

    \path #0.1 #'((moveto 0 -1.75)(rlineto 0.5 0)(rlineto 0 4.25)(rlineto -0.5 0))

    \override #'(font-encoding . latin1) \italic " RH" 

  }

}

lhMark = \markup { 

  \concat {

    \path #0.1 #'((moveto 0 0.75)(rlineto 0.5 0)(rlineto 0 -3.25)(rlineto -0.5 0))

    \override #'(font-encoding . latin1) \lower #1.25 \italic " LH" 

  }

}

\new Staff \relative c, {

  \clef bass

  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(right)

  <e f bes\finger \lhMark e\finger \rhMark g b! dis>1\arpeggio 

}

The numbers that are highlighted control the position of the RH and LH text

HTH,

Abraham

He has a chord in one voice that he brackets what hands should play what notes.
