The first empty staff can also be removed from the score by setting the <code>VerticalAxisGroup</code> property <code>remove-first</code>. This can be done globally inside the <code>\layout</code> block, or locally inside the specific staff that should be removed. In the latter case, you have to specify the context (<code>Staff</code> applies only to the current staff) in front of the property.

The lower staff of the second staff group is not removed, because the setting applies only to the specific staff inside of which it is written.

<lilypond version="2.24.0" full>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves
% To use the setting globally, uncomment the following line:
% \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
}
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \relative c' {
e4 f g a \break
c1
}
\new Staff {
% To use the setting globally, comment this line,
% uncomment the line in the \layout block above
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
R1 \break
R
}
>>
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \relative c' {
e4 f g a \break
c1
}
