Hello:

 

May I ask advice on how to insert a brace or bracket in a score to indicate an organ-manual change?

Hardly pretty, but you can do this:

\version "2.19.56"

\new PianoStaff <<

  \new Staff <<

    \key e \major

    \tempo 2 = 52

    \new Voice {

      \voiceOne

      b4 b e'^"Sw" e'

    }

    \new Voice {

      \voiceTwo

      b4 b cis' cis'

    }

    \new Voice {

      \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t

      s2

      \hideNotes <cis' a''>4 -\tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-2 . 0) \arpeggio

      s4

    }

  >>

  \new Staff <<

    \key e \major

    \clef bass

    \new Voice {

      \voiceOne

      gis4 fis gis gis

    }

    \new Voice {

      \voiceTwo

      e4 dis cis cis

    }

    \new Voice {

      \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t

      s2 \hideNotes <cis, gis>4\arpeggio s4

    }

  >>

>>

\layout {

  \context {

    \PianoStaff

    connectArpeggios = ##t

    \override Arpeggio.stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-bracket

  }

}

%%%%

I had to tweak the size of the invisible chords to vary the arpeggio size.  Playing with Arpeggio.positions gave me odd results.

HTH,

David
