Dear Crystal, For me, a bracket (vertical line with hooks at top and bottom) next to two notes usually meant play them simultaneously, even if you have to use the other hand to do it. If I wanted the notes to be played in succession, I would write a grace note in front of and tied to the lower note. Were you talking about a curvy brace like the one that connects the piano staves?
