I think what you want is this in the score layout or context:
\override Score.Clef.break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) % make only the
first clef visible
\override Score.KeySignature.break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) % make
only the first time signature visible
\override Score.SystemStartBar.collapse-height = #1 % allow
single-staff system bars
Look at the link below under examples for a lead sheet with jazz fonts.
