Shane, It can be done without invoking "\newStaff." Look at the second example here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves #ossia-staves

The temporary \new Staff method forces the ossia to the bottom of the score below the string section. Adding a completely independent staff for the Ossia also won't work as removing empty staves is counter to the needs of the rest of the score.
