Hi Ed,
Aha! That works, but not quite as you described. I had to use "s"
rests, otherwise the unwanted staff line still showed up.
The first line will not show up if you:
1. use R rests (which you really *should*, since "s" is a skip
not a rest!!);
2. include \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } in your
\layout; and,
3. \override Score.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
