system start delimiter for one staff

Hi, I'm using Lilypond 2.7.27 for Windows 98. I would like to know if we can force a system start delimiter (a bracket) to appear before a StaffGroup or ChoirStaff that has only one staff. Here is an example: \version 2.7.27 { \new StaffGroup { \new Staff { R1 } } } Here, I want the
