I'm trying to improve an answer of mine and I've found a solution which works perfectly on Overleaf (I looked at the log, not only what is displayed).

\listfiles
\documentclass[12pt,fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing, calligraphy, calc}
\tikzset{
    mymatr/.style={
        matrix of math nodes, 
        column sep = 10pt,
        nodes={
            anchor=text, 
            inner xsep=3pt
            }, 
        inner xsep=7pt,
        ampersand replacement=\&
        }
    }
\NewEnviron{mybrak}[1][2]{%
    \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(mybase)]
    \matrix[mymatr](A){
        \BODY\\
        };
    \coordinate (mybase) at ($(A-1-1.text)!.5! (A-#1-1.text)$);
    \draw[thick]([xshift=-6.4pt]A-1-1.west) -- +(4.4pt,0);
    \foreach[evaluate=\mystep as \prev using int(\mystep-1)] \mystep in {2,...,#1}{
        \draw[thick]([xshift=-6pt]A-\prev-1.west) -- ([xshift=-6pt]A-\mystep-1.west) -- + (4pt,0);
    }
    \end{tikzpicture}
    }

\NewEnviron{mycurly}[1][2]{%
    \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(mybase)]
    \matrix[mymatr](A){
        \BODY\\
        };
    \coordinate (mybase) at ($(A-1-1.text)!.5! (A-#1-1.text)$);

Environment who puts curly braces:
\[
\begin{mycurly}
    \frac{3}{4}x+y=2 \\
    e^{2x}+3y=4
\end{mycurly}
\]
if you have more than 2 equation, you have to indicate their number in the optional argument:
\[
\begin{mycurly}[3]
    \frac{3}{4}x+y=2 \\
    e^{2x}+3y=4\\
    \sqrt{x+3}+5z=0
\end{mycurly}
\]
\[
\begin{mycurly}[4]
    x+y=2 \\
    2x+3y=4 \\
    3x+5z=0 \\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2
\end{mycurly}
\]
Environment who puts square brakets:
\[
\begin{mybrak}
    \frac{3}{4}x+y=2 \\
    e^{2x}+3y=4
\end{mybrak}
\]
if you have more than 2 equation, you have to indicate their number in the optional argument:
\[
\begin{mybrak}[3]
    \frac{3}{4}x+y=2 \\
    e^{2x}+3y=4\\
    \sqrt{x+3}+5z=0
\end{mybrak}
\]
\[
\begin{mybrak}[4]
    x+y=2 \\
    2x+3y=4 \\
    3x+5z=0 \\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2
\end{mybrak}
\]
Please note you have to use \verb|\&| instead of \verb|&| here:
\[
 f(x) = 
  \begin{mycurly}[4]
   \dfrac{1}{3}x+y=2 \& \text{if }x<0 \\
    2x+3y=4 \& \text{if }0\leq x<1\\
    3x+5z=0 \& \text{if }1\leq x<2\\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2 \& \text{if } x>2
  \end{mycurly}
\]
\[
 f(x) = 
  \begin{mycurly}[3]
    2x+3y=4 \& \text{if } x<1\\
    3x+5z=0 \& \text{if }1\leq x<2\\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2 \& \text{if } x>2
  \end{mycurly}
\]
It works also with the bracket type (even if I don't know if it is used in your country):
\[
 f(x) = 
  \begin{mybrak}[4]
   \dfrac{1}{3}x+y=2 \& \text{if }x<0 \\
    2x+3y=4 \& \text{if }0\leq x<1\\
    3x+5z=0 \& \text{if }1\leq x<2\\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2 \& \text{if } x>2
  \end{mybrak}
\]
\[
 f(x) = 
  \begin{mybrak}[3]
    2x+3y=4 \& \text{if } x<1\\
    3x+5z=0 \& \text{if }1\leq x<2\\
    \dfrac{7x}{x+9}+y+z=2 \& \text{if } x>2
  \end{mybrak}
\]

I get the error (followed by many others):

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \g__prg_map_int 

l.54    \end{mycurly}

The error seems to be in the calligraphy library of TikZ, but it has not been changed since 2016/02/19.

How can I solve this error?

    I can reproduce the issue. My guess is that the calligraphy library uses either now deprecated or removed commands or internal commands that were never meant for use outside of the kernel itself and changed without notice.

  • @moewe That's my guess, too. Do you think there could be an alternative solution?

    The author is aware that he uses "inappropriate" commands (see the comments below tex.stackexchange.com/a/408381, especially tex.stackexchange.com/questions/408378/…) and wanted to take action at some time.

  • No idea, sorry. I guess one of the expl3 or TikZ experts will swing by soon to have a look. Maybe even the author of the library himself (but as always, if he doesn't respond here, please report the bug properly should it turn out it is one).

In the process of tightening up some expl3 concepts, a few internal commands were removed. Here, one was used by a third-party package. (Part of the reason for the tighten-up was that it was not clear that third-parties should not use this code, so there is no fault with the package author.) Until the code there is altered, one can use

\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\int_new:N \g__prg_map_int 
\ExplSyntaxOff

before

\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing, calligraphy, calc}
