How to use keep-alive-together / hara-kiri-together

[H. S. Teoh]

Hi All,

I have a ScoreMarks context (basically, something to collect score
marks, tempo changes, etc.) placed above a StaffGroup, that I want to
elide when the StaffGroup is elided by \removeEmptyStaves. How do I do
this?

I've tried searching online and found references to keep-alive-together
and hara-kiri-together, but couldn't find any examples of how to
actually use these properties. The docs are rather scanty and I didn't
find anything helpful in the list archives except for Kieran's post
regarding essentially the same question, but there was no response:

Any clues?
