Hi Michael, 

there is another way to get that brace without the use of a GrandStaff:

% -----------------------------------------------------------------------
music = {c4 c c c | c c c c }

violinIMusic = {
  \relative c'' \music
}

violinIIMusic = {
  \relative c'' \music
}

violaMusic = {
  \relative c' \music
}

celloMusic = {
  \relative c {\clef bass \music}
}

bassMusic = {
  \relative c, {\clef bass \music}
}


\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \set StaffGroup.systemStartDelimiterHierarchy = #'(SystemStartBracket
(SystemStartBrace a b) c d e)
    \new Staff
    \violinIMusic
    \new Staff
    \violinIIMusic
    \new Staff
    \violaMusic
    \new Staff
    \celloMusic
    \new Staff
    \transpose c c' \bassMusic
  >>
}
% -----------------------------------------------------------------------

But with the "real" voices of the different instruments, containing notes
with ledger lines, dynamics etc., the space between the staves will increase
anyway.

Cheers, 
Klaus
