Re: using ossia to hide stave

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why not use \RemoveEmptyStaffContext instead
(see Sect. "8.3.2 Hiding staves")? I would especially
recommend that if you have a line break before the
voice starts (which probably gives a preferable layout
anyway). Another alternative is simply to start the new
stave later, for example:

\score{
<<
 \new Staff = bass \relative c { \clef bass c2 e | d g, |
 % Split off the new stave:
 <<
   \new Staff = voice \relative c' {
     % Place it above the bass stave:
     \set Staff.alignAboveContext = #"bass"
     c4 d e c | d b g b | c1 }
   % Continue the bass stave:
   { c2 e | d g, | c1 }
 >>
 }
>>
}
