I'm not sure what I should be doing in this case. I'm using \RemoveEmptyStaffContext and \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t to hide all the empty staves from my score, but this only removes staves from a system if they contain nothing but spacer rests (s) and multimeasure rests (R). The piece begins with an upbeat (\partial 4) and I will be producing both full score and individual parts.
Now the dilemma: the piano and a vocal soloist have no music at the beginning, so their staves should not appear in the first system of the full score, but to accomplish this I must fill their partial measure with s4 or R4. In the individual parts, these options produce either an empty partial measure (no rest symbol), or a whole rest and a barcheck warning, respectively. What I want to appear at the beginning of the individual parts is r4 | R(n). Any suggestions? Bug exists with LilyPond or user?
