Text spanners can be used in LP to obtain that, but what is their name in music in general?

They’re ligature brackets, used in modern editions to show that the mensural original used a ligature for these notes. Using text spanners would therefore be not quite correct; the LilyPond equivalent is
{ \[ c1 d \] }
Note that this is the only spanner or item in general that unfortunately still uses infix syntax instead of the usual postfix syntax.

Best, Simon
