Okay, well, I have actually read the learning manual, just
so everyone knows.
If I place \omit Staff.KeySignature anywhere significant, it
removes the key signature, but it removes it also from the
first staff too. I want the key signature at the very
beginning.

Mr. Albrecht,
Where do I add the
\omit Staff.KeySignature
in my composition?
After the first note or measure, so it affects all but the
first key signatures.
You are using a different setup.
Or do I have to change the way I'm laying it out?
You have to do nothing. Laying out one’s LilyPond files
can be a quite personal decision on what you like best; I
was merely proposing a way which proves to be robust for
larger and more complicated setups also.
In general, I’d suggest the Learning Manual as a must-read
gentle introduction to LilyPond:

Happy Ponding,

Hello Brother Gabriel,

My piece is in B Major and the repetition of the key
signature takes up a lot
of room on the page.
I would like to show it on the first staff only and
suppress the rest.
That is unusual, but I’ve seen it done in hymn books on
small formats.
What do I do?
The LilyPond command you want is very straightforward:
\omit KeySignature.
I attach an example which also features a parallel music
expression containing layout information and omits the
clefs.
