Re: \new StaffGroup ---- difficulties...

[Mats Bengtsson]

I considered the previous behaviour a bug and "corrected" it, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-09/msg00103.html

If you want the bracket also for a single stave, just do

\layout {
 ...  
 \context{
   \StaffGroup
     \override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #1
 }
}
