On 1.3.46, \property Staff.dynamicDirection = \up should do the
job.

There are several possibilities. One way is to use the
so-called HaraKiri mechanism. Assuming that a staff should
start at bar 45, you could create it already from the
beginning but start it with 'R1*44' or '\skip 1*44'.
Then you redefine the Staff context to use the
Hara_kiri_engraver:
\score{
...
\paper{
...
\translator{\HaraKiriStaffContext}
}
}
To remove a staff, just end it.

Some newer versions are available at
ftp://appel.lilypond.org/pub/gnu-windows/cygwin-1.1.4/bin/installer/
For information on how to build it yourself, I recommend that
you search the mailing list archives (see the links at
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/people/hanwen/lilypond/Documentation/topdocs/out-www/FAQ.html)
Note that the syntax keeps changing somewhat between different
versions. The program convert-ly (earlier called convert-mudela)
will help you keep your files up to date. The answers above are
for version 1.3.46.
