Correct! You can find some discussions on this phenomenon in the mailing
list archives. Do you really want the rest symbol produced by R8? I thought
that and ordinary eight note rest (r8) was the standard notation practice
for upbeats.

Yes but r8 does not permit \RemoveEmptyStaffContext and
 \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
to work,

Exactly. It must be a bug that you can't hide opening staves where they start with an upbeat...

I had the same issue and I posted on bug-lilypond

Nicolas Sceaux gave an interesting hack in his answer here:

[snip code]

Blimey!  I'll give that a go.

Hope it helps,
