Hi,
I was typesetting a piece in which an organ only played only a few notes
near the end of the piece, So, to fit more music on a page I turned to
Remove(All)EmptyStaves. That failed to work. It turned out that it was
because a Dynamics context is used. Below is a small lilypond snippet to
show the culprit. Once the \new Dynamics line is removed or commented out,
the behaviour is as expected.
If you apply RemoveAllEmptyStaves to the PianoStaff context, you will
get the desired behaviour.
\layout {
\context {
\PianoStaff
\RemoveAllEmptyStaves
}
}
I think not many people pay attention to the bugs list; you are more
likely to get some help by writing to the user list.
