To do this:
- Assuming the brace occurs at a barline, select the bar after this barline (as a 1-bar passage)
- Open the Bars panel of the Properties window, and increase Gap before bar very slightly wth the arrows (e.g. to 0.03 or 0.06) until a brace appears. ...
- In the same panel uncheck Initial barline and Clefs.

Fortunately, the solution is the same: click on the top or bottom of a barline on an adjacent staff, and drag the handle up or down so that the barline reappears. Then click and drag the barline across the staves.
How do you align dynamics in Sibelius?
For each staff in turn, do a multiple selection of all dynamics and hairpins simultaneously, then Ctrl-Shift-R (Command-Shift-R on a Mac) to align all those items into a row.
