I guess you refer to this sentence:
The first system shows all staves in full. If empty staves should be 
removed from the first system too, set remove-first to true in  
VerticalAxisGroup. 
\override Score.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t

Well, I had tried that, but whereever I insert this line, I get some error 
message when compiling, e.g. when I do it like this:
  \layout {
    \context { 
\override Score.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
    \context{
      \Staff
...
I get the following errmsg:
PianoSonataB_1.ly:432:15: error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting 
SCM_T or SCM_IDENTIFIER
\override Score
               .VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t

Is there a bug in the doc or where do I have to insert the line? (My 
Lilypond version is 2.8.1.)
