Simon, Attached is a snippet for bracket and hand indication from my library. I cannot remember from whom I got it, so I cannot properly ascribe.

I wrote an event function to nicely wrap up your approach: %%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.32" hook = #(let ((direction? (lambda (n) (= 1 (abs n)))) (hook-markup #{ \markup \path #0.175 #'((moveto 0 0) (rlineto -0.85 0) (rlineto 0 3)) #})) (define-event-function (direction on-line) (direction? boolean?) (let* ((self-al (if on-line 0.6 0.31)) (self-al (if (= direction 1) (- self-al) self-al))) #{ \tweak self-alignment-Y $self-al \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(-.5 . 0) \finger \markup \scale #(cons 1 direction) #hook-markup #}))) \layout { \context { \Voice fingeringOrientations = #'(left) } } { <c''-\hook #DOWN ##f> <d''-\hook #UP ##t> } %%%%%%%%%% It's not quite elegant with its hard-coded values, but it's easy to use.
