Wow! I'll have to try it out.

This is what I use:

\version "2.18.2"

hideMusic = { \set Staff.keepAliveInterfaces = #'() }
showMusic =   \unset Staff.keepAliveInterfaces

\score {
   <<
      \new Staff = "s1" {
         \relative g' {
            \repeat unfold 30 { g2 } a1
         }
      }
      \new Staff = "s2" {
         \relative g' {
            % The second staff may be hidden
            \hideMusic
            \repeat unfold 30 { g2 }
            % The second staff must be shown
            \showMusic
            f1
         }
      }
   >>
   \layout {
      \context {
         \Staff
         \RemoveEmptyStaves
         % Remove the first staff
         \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
      }
   }
}

Cheers,
Vaughan
