I don't really understand it properly, nor am I an expert - could you take the score ('System Bracket colliding with clef'), change settings (in 'Edit>General'?) in MuseScore to match LilyPond's and upload it?

I wonder if the tail part (my main concern, perhaps?) should not intrude in the space of the treble clef?

Here is a side by side comparison. Left Lilypond, right MuseScore

I guess the top tail should be a little bit higher and the bottom one a bit lower. And so the line should be longer. The tail also look a bit smaller in lilypond.

In lilypond, the thickness seems to be 0.45 and the distance 0.8. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/internals/systemstartbracket

According to this I would say, the tails are shifted by 0.1*thickness only.

Which is which in that comparison?

I wonder if the vertical line in the system bracket should be longer - the corner (or rather, the horizontal line?) of the group bracket doesn't clear the final stave line.
