try something like:

%%%%%%%

\layout {
  \context
  {
    \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
  }
}

\new Staff  {
  \unset Score.keepAliveInterfaces
  \partial 4 r4
  \set Score.keepAliveInterfaces = #'(rhythmic-grob-interface
  lyric-interface percent-repeat-item-interface
  percent-repeat-interface stanza-number-interface)
  R1*30 c1
}
