Dear Dale
The most commen way, that I know, to indicate, that a note should be played
by the other hand is to use technic text. In your case you would write rh
with or without () around the letters. So write either only rh or (rh).
Brackets around a note most of times indicates that the note is optional,
and doesn't tell that it must be played by the other hand. Another way would
be to use a dotted line from an appropriate place of the trebble staff to
the note of the bass staff. But this would indicate that it is musacally
really part of the trebble staff. But I think you would need sighted
assistant to place such a line. 
I hope, this helps.
Regards
Claudio

Subject: [sib-access] Bracket

Hello Everyone,
 

A sighted colleague is recommending that I put a bracket on a particular
note in the bass staff of a piano part. The bracket would indicate that the
note should actually be played with the right hand, but musicality calls for
that note to be written in its current staff. He describes the bracket as
being l-shaped. Does anyone know what such a bracket is actually called, so
I can see if I can find it in Sibelius? So, most likely the answer would
need to come from someone familiar with print music symbols. The only
brackets in Sibelius that I know of are either one that goes around a note
head, or one that goes around an accidental.
