I'm currently working on a bit of music with a key signature in the 
ossia that is not in the main voice.  The typesetting is meh due to the 
large gap to accommodate the key signature.  Is there any way to make it 
such that:
a) the key signature is typeset before the arrival of the notes in the 
ossia?
b) there is no gap to accommodate said key signature?
\version "2.14.0"
{ \repeat unfold 24 d'32
  <<
    { \repeat unfold 40 d'32 }
    \new Staff \with {
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      alignAboveContext = #"main"
      fontSize = #-3
      \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
      \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -3)
      firstClef = ##f
    }
    { \key cis \major ais4 ais ais ais ais }
  >>
}

THe following code is from the NM... with a few minor adjustments

\score {
{
\new Staff = main \relative c'' {
        \key a \major
c4 b d c
<<
{ c4 b d c }
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
alignAboveContext = #"main"
fontSize = #-3
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -2)
firstClef = ##f
}
{ \key b \major
e4 d f e }
>>
c4 b c2
}
}
}

I used the Gimp to make the attached png file. Is that what you would 
like to produce?
Unfortunately I don't know how this could be done solely in LP.
