Anyone know what I'm "talking" about?
Interestingly, Elaine Gould knows what you are talking about but also
doesn't know their name:
A verbal instruction may indicate that notes are to be taken with the
other hand. ... Alternatively, such notes may be shown with an
incomplete bracket, extending vertically from the notehead upwards
for right-hand notes, downwards for left-hand notes. (at p. 305)
You can make the symbols with postscript markup, but if you want the
symbols next to the notehead then they would have to be moved from the
default markup position:
\version "2.19.4"
rh = \markup { \postscript #"0.18 setlinewidth 0 0 moveto -1 0 rlineto 0
2.5 rlineto stroke" }
lh = \markup { \postscript #"0.18 setlinewidth 0 0 moveto 0 2.5 rlineto
1 0 rlineto stroke" }
\relative c'' {
c^\rh
c^\lh
}
