Re: \RemoveEmptyStaves not removing first line
+1. I've *never* seen an ambitus except at the very beginning of a piece. I often use an ambitus in front- or end-matter, to give vocal ranges separate from the score itself. Of course, "front-matter" can be interpreted as "the very beginning of a piece", but I think of it as entirely separate from the piece — and end-matter is definitely not "the very beginning of a piece". Not trying to battle semantics — just giving a use case, and putting forward my concern that any changes to the Ambitus engraver shouldn’t eliminate the possibility of using it somewhere other than the "traditional place" (i.e., immediately to the left of the first measure of a vocal staff). ... the least common denominator probably being that an Ambitus indication should be put at some *distinguished* place - front matter, end matter, first system, and so on, where it may be found easily. But to bury it at some more-or-less arbitrary place within the music doesn't seem a good idea to me. Anyway: _How_ do you place the Ambitus in, e.g., the front matter?

I'd second Werner.
Though, it's already possible to do:
{
\new Voice = "intro"
{ R1*4 \break }
\new Voice
\with { \consists "Ambitus_engraver" }
\relative c' {
\override AmbitusNoteHead.break-visibility = ##(#f #f #t)
\override AmbitusLine.break-visibility = ##(#f #f #t)
c4 d e f g a b c |
\break
b2 c |
d1
}
}
alas not very convenient.
Cheers,
Harm

I’ve often wondered [only to myself] whether the Ambitus engraver could be tweaked to output a graphical cluster, the thickness of which would depend on the number of times that note appears in the piece (or total duration of each note, etc.) — that way, a pretty reliable judgement could be made just by looking at the ambitus, and seeing where the "bulges" were (if any).

Re: \RemoveEmptyStaves not removing first line
Where would you expect the Ambitus marker to show up if you do not want the staff to appear in the first system? First entry? I am not sure that the interfaces the Ambitus_engraver exercises would allow to make that difference, but if they did, this would be a reasonable expectation. Though probably rather hard to implement, given how late in the typesetting stage "empty" staves get pruned. Yes, that's probably the only sufficiently reasonable place to expect it. But: It seems to me that the whole point (or, at least, the most important application) of the Ambitus indication is to enable users of the score to judge the tessitura "at first glance" (even though, of course, for a reliable judgement one would have to look at the actual music in more detail). This application is somewhat hindered if one has to look for the right system containing the first entry of a voice first. So, to be honest, I'm not sure whether trying to make the Ambitus_engraver compatible with hiding empty staves would be worth the effort, especially if (as you say) that effort would be large.

Re: \RemoveEmptyStaves not removing first line
Have also used the \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t and can
confirm this works with 2.18.2 when added to score block.
\score {

\pianoPart

\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 22)
