There's no builtin support to do it, but the following example
illustrates how to
fool LilyPond into doing it.
\version "2.10.20"
% Replace brace150 by whatever between brace0 and brace575 that is of a
% suitable size.
leftbrace = \markup {\override #'(font-encoding . fetaBraces) \lookup
#"brace200" }
% In spite of what it says in the manual, the argument to \rotate is
% currently specified in radians. Note that this may change to degrees
% in future versions.
rightbrace = \markup {\rotate #3.14 \leftbrace }
lyricsbeforebrace = \lyricmode {Here is some ly -- rics }
lyricsfrombrace = \lyricmode { \markup{\rightbrace Here} comes some more }
melody = \relative c'{ c d e f g f e d c e d f g }
\score{
<<
\new Voice = m \melody
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m \lyricsbeforebrace
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m { \lyricsbeforebrace \lyricsfrombrace }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m \lyricsbeforebrace
>>
}

Is there a way to insert a vertical curly brace in lyrics, in a case
where a group of stanzas has a common ending, e.g.:
lyrics for one stanza |
lyrics for another stanza |
lyrics for yet another stanza | common ending
lyrics for yet another stanza |
^
Big vertical brace goes here---|
Optimally,
-- the vertical brace would be long enough to span all (or at least
a specified set of) preceding stanzas; and
-- the common ending could be vertically centered relative to the group
of stanzas.
Thanks,
Susan
