I tested the proposed solution and...while that does exactly what I want, it also prints an empty staff on top of the conductor score up until the pages it extends to.
If you put the *voices* in parallel, within the same Staff, then it will work as Simon explained:
\new Staff << \aux \realNotes >>
A common mistake is putting that variable in parallel with the Staff:
<<
\new Staff
\aux
>>
This will create an extra staff implicitly.
