Now that's interesting: For my taste, this is _too_ minimal. I don't
wouldn't recommend relying on the implicit creation of contexts to turn
\upper and \lower into staves (as opposed to, for instance, voices).
So, I would always write
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff \upper
\new Staff \lower
>>
Do you consider this inferior (or unnecessarily verbose and therefore
non-minimal)?
I don't think it makes any difference in this particular situation. Both work
appropriately. Personally, I always explicitly instantiate all of my contexts.
