Hello:

 

Within a piano staff

 

1)      For what term/command do I search the on-line manual for directions to print a bracket, “ [ ,” indicating one hand to play pitches on both staves, and

2)      Similarly for directions to print a line showing an inner voice moving from one staff to the other.

 

Thank you for your kind attention.

1) Use a cross-staff arpeggio and style it as a bracket. See this LSR snippet: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=466

 

2) Use \showStaffSwitch: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-keyboards#staff_002dchange-lines
