RE: Multi-measure rests before a new temporary staff is added

[Steven Weber]

Laziness.  The movement I'm typesetting is 600+ measures long with tons of
time changes, and only 15 measures of that are split.  That's why LP allows
this kind of construct in the first place, no?  Because we still don't have
a good way to say "skip the next 500 measures, regardless of their length."

why not use the "usual" construct that defines the staff group from the
begin and removes parts if they're  _empty_:

\score{
  \new StaffGroup \with {
    \RemoveEmptyStaves
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
  }
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \compressFullBarRests
      \override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = #1
      \new Voice \repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | }
      R1 *5 |
      \break
      \repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | }
    }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      \time 4/4
      \colorContext blue
      \key f \major
      s1 *10 \repeat unfold 5 { c,4 d, e, f, | }
    }
  >>
}
