Start a staff later

[Urs Liska]

Hi all,

I have created the attached music example, using some polymetrics
trickery to align the differing music. As you can see the lower sample
is shorter, starting later and stopping earlier. The lower PianoStaff
simply stops when the music stops, and I would be happy to have the same
effect at the beginning of the system as well.

Is it possible to have the lower PianoStaff start only at its second
measure, that is, with having the brace and the time signature only there?

Any pointers would be appreciated
Urs
