Hi Steve, Yeah, there is basically no good reason not to remove empty staves on piano parts, other than mindless fidelity to tradition. And believe me, I understand that in certain contexts, mindless fidelity to tradition is exactly what's required! (As I said in my previous email, I would always make the piano parts in orchestral music grand staves, because orchestral pianists are *exactly* the kind of musicians to raise a snit about any deviation from the norm.) But the tide is definitely turning on this one.
