Start with changed staff

[Helge]

Hi,

I have to write some scores where each piece starts with a long note
simultaneous with an arpeggio down. This arpeggio shall be written
explicitly. This should be possible with this code

\version "2.19.16"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff = upper
  \relative c'' {
    \time 2/4 
    \repeat volta 2 {
      e2 
    }
  }
  \new Staff = "lower"
  \relative c'' {
    \clef bass
    \repeat volta 2 {
      %s32
      \change Staff = "upper"
      e32
      c g d \change Staff = "lower" c g c,4

      s16
    }
  }
>>

The problem is that the change Staff does not work at the very first
note. You can remove the "%" before the "s32" and comment out the "e32"
to see how it should be, except that the melody line is missing the
first 32th note.

I would say that this is a bug. But do you have a nice workaround?

The "\repeat volta" is not necessary to reproduce the problem. But if
you have any idea to circumvent the problem it would be good when it
works even in this context.

Best regards
Helge#
