Interestingly enough, I decided this on my own. Over the 270 pages that
this score spans, there are only a handful of places where the situation
arises. I'm leaving it alone, letting the conductor adjust. I have to get
going on parts and then the same situation for the 2nd act score.
I know you have a solution already, but isn't it common to leave string parts UN-optimised? That is, even when empty, the first violin staff could still be present. At least, you could optimise the others, but set the violin staff to never optimise out.
Just a thought, gleaned from the Akareshnikovitsky and Herzenvortragengruber book , which I am perusing now as bedtime reading. It seems to be uncommonly effective at putting me to sleep!
