This kind of hint is best placed in the LSR - the LilyPond Snippet Repository.
Anyone can do this.  Just prepare an example showing how to remove
non-empty staves using this method and submit it to the LSR with a
suitable tag, and if it is accepted it will appear in the relevant snippets 
sections of the Notation Reference.  Use notation suitable for 2.14.

Your contribution will be very welcome.  To start, see
