Thanks Rune, I see that basically you defined a third staff throughout and
made it disappear somewhere in between where it was empty, although with
the rather limited knowledge I have of Lilypond I don't quite get how you
did it.
Anyway, I come closer to the goal now after I discovered the
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext thing (see manual
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond.html#Hiding-staves).
However, one thing is still odd, namely the appearance of the empty third
staff at the beginning of the piece, where it is not supposed to be there
(it should appear first only several bars into the piece). Now I have
iii = \context Staff {
\context Voice = "iii"
\voiceThree
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
\clef bass \key bes \major \time 6/8
s8 s2.*79
r4. r4 #(set-octavation -1) <a,, a,>8 }
\score {
\context PianoStaff <<
\context Staff=upper <<
\i
>>
\context Staff=lower <<
\ii
>>
\context Staff=bass <<
\iii

\layout {
\context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
}
So, how do I get rid of that empty staff at the beginning?
