In this case it is not though, so of interest to others with old

Looking at the LilyPond view I see when you try to typeset it says

: warning: cannot create context: GroupStaff
 \MvmntIVoiceI 
               \new GroupStaff <<

and looking up the syntax I see it should be \new StaffGroup not \new
GroupStaff.

I vaguely recall that at one time Denemo generated this wrong syntax
but it has been fixed at some point. And indeed deleting the start
braces and re-making them fixes the problem.
If it doesn't for you (and you are using a modern version) then this
suggests you have your own set of menu commands with an old copy of
that command. The command in question is

Command: GroupStaff Start
Start grouping single staves together in order to form multi-stave
systems. In the GroupStaff context, the group is started with a bracket
and bar lines are drawn through all the staves.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Staff Groupings (Braces)
Internal Name: GroupStaffStart

so you may have copies of the old menu commands at

~/.denemo-2.5.3/actions/menus/ObjectMenu/StaffMenu/StaffGroupings

where ~ is your home directory and / is \ on Windows.
If you don't actually have any customised commands you can simply drag
actions/menus into the trash and re-start Denemo. Then re-making the
Group Staff Start all should be well.
