Be aware that this is _very_ non-standard notation. It would entirely be 
clear enough to just leave the lower staff empty—that will make it 
obvious that the left hand is free to help out with the other staff, 
apart from the fact that it’s obvious at a glance that the left hand is 
actually needed to play it. If you feel the need, you could add a "m.s." 
(Italian) or "l.h." (English) or a small hook (I can’t find the snippet 
right now, sorry)—but there’s no need for the ‘snake’.

Keep in mind that you’re taking a manuscript and transforming it into a 
computer-engraved score—those two have very different rules and customs.

Best, Simon
