Working on a Lilypond part. The first few bars are missing from the pdf

Question

Trying to transpose the Goldenberg and Schmuyle part of Mussorski's pictures. The first bars with rest disappear from the pdf if I include the second bar with the notes. Same happens if I remove all grace-notes. Problems with 64'th notes?

Working example:

\header {
  title = "Pictures at an Exhibition"
  subtitle = "Samuel Goldenberg und Schmuyle"
  composer = "M. Mussorgskii"
  instrument = "Trumpet Eb"
  }
\version "2.18.2"

#(set-global-staff-size 16)
#(set-default-paper-size "a4")

<<
  \new Staff = ossia \with {
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  \new Staff \relative c' {
    \compressFullBarRests
    \clef treble \key es \major
    \time 4/4
    \tempo "Andante"

    \partial 32 r32 |
    r1 r r r \mark\markup\box{"5"} |
%   5
    r1 r |
    \time 3/4
    r2. |
    \time 4/4
    r1 \mark\markup\box{"9"} |
%   9
    \tempo 4 = 66
    \slashedGrace b''8 \tuplet 3/2 {b16\ff b b }    b64\(   c    b16.\)
    \slashedGrace b8   \tuplet 3/2 {b16 b b }       b64\(   c    b16.\)
    \slashedGrace ais8 \tuplet 3/2 {ais16 ais ais } ais64\( b    ais16.\)
    \slashedGrace gis8 \tuplet 3/2 {gis16 gis gis } gis64\( ais  gis16.\) |

Answer 1

In your \layout block you have \RemoveEmptyStaffContext which removes a staff that has only rests. I don't think you want that for a single horn part.
