Oh, oops.  That comma should be a dot.  Sometimes I can't see the
difference!

So Score.SystemStartBrace ...

The documention in "Available music functions" that you're reading is all
there is for 2.16.  Full documentation wasn't written for the function
until syntax changes had happened to it.  There is complete documentation
for 2.18 at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-broken-spanners

You can use the examples there in 2.16 by swapping arguments, but you can't
use \alterBroken as a tweak (which is the chief advantage gained by the
reordering of arguments).

You might consider upgrading, as there have been quite a few improvements
to LilyPond besides this!
