Top posting for simplicity.
Ralph.
1. Use this layout block:
\layout {
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
}
2. Replace your s1 rests in the 3rd stave with R1 "whole measure" rests.
3. Use a simple
\layout {
}
at the end, above your midi. Works for me.
FWIW I've been exploring layout like this in the last 2 days, so if you want to
do it as a "proper" Ossia with a new \staff I can probalby give some pointers.
.ly file attached that works for me.

Subject: Staff / System problem
Greetings -
I'm running LilyPond 2.12.3 under Ubuntu.
I'm trying to duplicate the staff / system setup shown in the attached
Duet.jpg. The ossia staff begins on the second line, and has dashed bar
spanners. The closest I've been able to come so far is similar to what I have
in test-1.ly (a minimal example) and test-1.jpg. Basically, I have the music in
A, B, and C, and then do:
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff << \A >>
\new Staff << \B >>
\new Staff << \C >>
>>
}
Here's the full test-1.ly file:
%%%%%%%%%% begin snippet %%%%%%%%%%%
% test-1
\version "2.12.3"
\paper {
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
ragged-right = ##f
}
\layout {
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
}
A =
\relative c'' {
\key c \major
\clef treble
\time 4/4
a b c d |

Using spacers for the empty measures in C and then using
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext did not work, because the empty staff is in the first
system.
I also tried putting a new StaffGroup into B, with two \new Staff units as
parallel music, but LilyPond put all the succeeding notes in B as simultaneous.
Can anyone help me with either an appropriate score structure or a command to
override the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext default so I can remove the empty staff
in the first system? I'd also like the solid bar spanners in the top staff
group and dashed bar spanners between the middle staff and the ossia staff.
I appreciate your time and attention,
Pondly,
Ralph
