The choirstaff bracket gets clipped if no other element extends as far up and down. The treble cleff sign extends far enough up to keep the top of the choirstaff bracket, and note stems that hang below the bass staff will prevent the choirstaff bracket from being clipped on the bottom. But if no other element extends above the treble staff or below the bass staff, then the choirstaff bracket will be clipped off. Below is an example demonstrating no clipping, clipping only on top, clipping only on the bottom, and clipping on both sides.
I an running Mint 14. This includes lilypond version 2.14.2. I run
lilypond-book with the --pdf option.
