try this


\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff \consists "Horizontal_bracket_engraver"
  }
  raggedright = ##t
}


\relative c {
  \once \override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'Y-offset-callbacks = #(list 
Staff_symbol_referencer::callback)
  \once \override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'staff-position = #5
  \once \override Staff.HorizontalBracket #'direction = #UP
  c4\startGroup c'''4 c,,,4\stopGroup
}
