It's a misconception that the brace shall be part of the lyrics setup; just put the brace command in front of the corresponding note. A minimalistic M-Tx-based example: 8<--------------------------- Style: Singer %% \input musixcho g0 L: one L: two L: three \loffset4\bigrbrace\ g0 L: four 8<--------------------------- Remarks: (1) Setting the horizontal offset manually is hardly avoidable (unless you can align the brace with a barline or some other gadget). (2) You may change the brace height by setting \braceheight to some TeX dimension before calling \bigrbrace. (3) I'm not really sure whether this also works for lyrics above a staff; maybe some further vertical positioning tricks are necessary here. Just drop a note in case you need this, too.
