I'd second Werner.
Though, it's already possible to do:
{
\new Voice = "intro"
{ R1*4 \break }
\new Voice
\with { \consists "Ambitus_engraver" }
\relative c' {
\override AmbitusNoteHead.break-visibility = ##(#f #f #t)
\override AmbitusLine.break-visibility = ##(#f #f #t)
c4 d e f g a b c |
\break
b2 c |
d1
}
}
alas not very convenient.
Cheers,
