Remarkably, you only need a single rest in the dummy staff to make it
work, and you can use the hide on typeset command (in Staff->Staff
Properties) to hide the staff in the playback view. Perhaps we should
add such a staff (complete with hidden status and a whole measure rest,
and a comment in it explaining what it is for) to percussion
instruments?
