this is quite weird. This code compiles fine. However, in my original score it 
doesn't work. After some more experimenting, I figured out that the problem is, 
that I have the \RemoveEmptyStaves in the \Staff context. After removing that, 
it compiled just fine. Maybe it's some bug. Anyway, the \RemoveEmptyStaves is 
not that important for this particular score, so I disabled it.


Thank you for your help,
