Hi Abraham, How about this?
someMusic = { \tempo "Andante." \time 3/4 \key c \minor c'2. r8 } \paper { indent = 40 } \layout { \context { \Staff \override InstrumentName.font-size = #-1 \override InstrumentName.padding = #-5 } \context { \StaffGroup \name ViolinGroup \alias StaffGroup systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBrace \override SystemStartBrace.X-offset = #-1 } \context { \StaffGroup \name WindGroup \alias StaffGroup systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBracket \override SystemStartBracket.collapse-height = #1 } \context { \StaffGroup \name StringGroup \alias StaffGroup \accepts ViolinGroup systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBracket } \context { \StaffGroup \name OrchestraGroup \accepts WindGroup \accepts StringGroup systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBrace \override SystemStartBrace.X-extent = #empty-interval \override SystemStartBrace.X-offset = #-12 instrumentName = \markup { \rotate #90 "Orchestra" \hspace #8 } } \context { \GrandStaff \remove "System_start_delimiter_engraver" \accepts OrchestraGroup \accepts StaffGroup \accepts VocalGroup } \context { \StaffGroup \name VocalGroup \alias StaffGroup systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBracket } } \score { \new GrandStaff << \new OrchestraGroup << \new WindGroup << \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Oboe" } \someMusic >> \new StringGroup << \new ViolinGroup << \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Violino I" } \someMusic \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Violino II" } \someMusic >> \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Viola" } { \clef C \someMusic } \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Cello" } { \clef bass \someMusic } >> >> \new VocalGroup << \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Soprano" } \someMusic \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Alto" } { \clef C \someMusic } >> >> } Comment and/or uncomment the cello staff (e.g.) to see the stretching.
