Hi Nick,

How about:

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c'' {
\arpeggioBracket
\once \override Arpeggio.positions = #'(-2.5 . -1.5)
<fis, d a>\arpeggio
}

Cheers,
Pierre

Hey all,

I have a situation where I would like to use a square bracket (like the square arpeggio bracket) around only two notes in a piano chord to indicate that the pianist should play both of them with their thumb. I've tried searching the manuals, list archives, and LSR for snippets relating both to the arpeggio function and the parenthesize function, and so far I haven't been able to find anyone discussing how to do this. Does anyone here have any thoughts?

Many thanks,
Nick
