Hi experts,

I'm working on a score for two pianos and I want the upper part to start later 
than the lower one. Since it's quite some bars difference, I want the whole 
PianoStaff to be removed until it 'starts'. Something like this:

\score{
        <<
                \new PianoStaff <<
                        \new Staff{
                                \music
                        }
                        \new Staff{
                                \music
                        }
                >>
                \new PianoStaff <<
                        \new Staff{
                                \music
                        }
                        \new Staff{
                                \music
                        }
                >>
        >>
}
\layout{
        \context{
                \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
        }
}

The problem is that there are also some passages where the 'main' piano (the 
lower staff) has multiple bars of rests. This one should stay though. The 
current situation is even worse: if only the right hand has something to play, 
the left hand disappears too! 
How can I apply this \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to just the upper PianoStaff and 
only to the whole thing, not it's individual Staff-s? Everything I try gives me 
lots of errors with unexpected \layout or \context-s...

Thanks a lot!

laurens.
