Re: removing first system with partial bar

[Mats Bengtsson]

But it doesn't work of you include the same music both in an
instrumental part where the rests have to be written out and in a full 
score, since then the r4 will be printed as a full
measure rest. One possibility in such a case is to use \tag
to distinguish between the two versions.
