The problem with this is (as Harm pointed out already rather at the
beginning of this thread) that there may be elements at the wrong size
at the changing spot. See

%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19"

\header {
  tagline = ##f
}

\layout {
  indent = 0
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
    \omit TimeSignature
  }
}

{
  c'4 d' e' f' g' a' b' c''
  \magnifyStaff #(magstep 3)
  \break
  \key a \major
  \repeat unfold 13 { s1 }
}
%%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

When you want the second system to be empty (for someone to fill in) you
won't have the key signature, but the barline is also at the wrong size.
