An additional stave can be typeset in the middle of a score line. A new context type is created for the temporary staff to avoid printing time and key signatures and clef at the beginning of the extra stave.

\score {

        \context TemporaryStaff = Two { c4 c8 d e4 f | c d e f |

    }

      \Score
      \consists "Span_bar_engraver"
      % Avoid a vertical line at the beginning of the system:
      \remove "System_start_delimiter_engraver"
      % Incorporate the new context in the hierarchy
      \accepts "TemporaryStaff"
    }
    \context {
