Re: hiding staves removes complete system

[Mats Bengtsson]

One trick that should solve your problem is to include transparent
notes in one of the staves:

 \score {
   \new StaffGroup <<
     \new Staff <<
        \new Voice \partA
        \new Voice {\hideNotes \repeat unfold 60 { c'1 } }
     >>
     \new Staff \partB
   >>
 }
