Unknown piano symbol
Hi.
Does anyone know the meaning of the curved vertical line, marked with the finger?
I have never seen it.
The score belongs to Harry Farjeon, theme "A Swan Song" available at IMSLP

Thanks and best regards.

I would appreciate if it is possible to move the subject, I have made a mistake in the location, thank you, I have noticed late, excuse me.
This sign indicates that all notes will be played with the same hand and played like as an arpeggio.
In this example, this symbol is used because the interval (range) of notes on the left hand is more than an octave.
Sometimes, the bottom note can be played like a grace note. (and it may be necessary to use the sostenuto-pedal for such situations.)

Thanks for the reply Ziya.
It is what I had imagined, the symbol clearly has vertical action and I had never seen it.
What I do not understand is why they do not place the symbol that is used in guitar [ , would it be the same? do not?.

I don't think you will find this (vertical slur) symbol in new piano editions. In old music-sheets it is possible to encounter these and different forms. (such as "[" or some other form. )
In fact, a pianist knows: how to play a chord larger than an octave interval. (Arpeggiate, Roll, Grace note technique (like stride), or using a sostenuto or damper pedal)

Thanks Ziya for the reply.
The important thing is to know the symbol because I imagine I will find it in the future.
According to comments, it is obsolete.
In the present I imagine that the equivalence are the common arpeggio signs, because in some way it is necessary to indicate that an arpeggio exists, right?
A greeting.

I don't think the wavy or lined vertical arpeggio symbols is equivalent to vertical slur symbol. Because vertical signs tells a real arpeggios.
However, The square bracket arpeggio symbol may be equivalent to this (which you have suggested before). If you use it and you need it, you can untick the "Play" option from the inspector.

Well, then, to simulate this symbol, it is better to place the symbol "[" since we do not have another and in some way we have to indicate it.
Thank you
