Can you please explain exactly what you are missing?

Is it:
-) That the group brackets don't go all the way to the upper/lower edge of the 
staves? It's possible, but you have to fiddle around with scaling the 
stencil...

-) That there is a text assigned to each staff ("1", "2", "3") and to the 
whole group ("Violin", "Clar.")? That's easy, see the LSR 
(http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/, which is currently down, unfortunately) and search 
for "InstrumentName"

-) That there should be no vertical line connecting the Violin and the 
Clarinet staff groups? No idea if/how that might be implemented.

-) That there is an "or" between the staff groups? I don't think that can be 
achieved easily in LilyOond

So, please also try to explain in words what aspect of your sample images you 
are after...

Cheers,
Reinhold
