How can I convert a "compound music expression" made of just *one* "music expression" to a music expression?

So something that "removes" curly brackets.

For example it should convert

    {<a b c>}

to

    <a b c>


Thanks, g.

If you have it at hand in Scheme:

\version "2.23.

#(define (first-element music)
   (first (ly:music-property music 'elements)))

{ #(first-element #{ { c'1 } #}) }

It would be helpful to understand your use
case; this sounds like you may not necessarily
need to unpack a sequential music expression.
