I'm typesetting a piano score that is mostly in two staves, but occasionally in three. I have filled the third staff with spacers rests when it's not needed and used \RemoveEmptyStaves and "Keep_alive_together_engraver" to hide it when its empty. The problem is that the first line of the score use

It of course depends on how large you want the dot and what other flexibility you want/need. But with a regular '.' (or any character- string) you could easily do this without special function code needed: \version "2.16.0" dotcolor = #red smalldotmark = \markup{\bold \with-color \dotcolor ".
