trouble with RemoveEmptyStaffContext

In a vocal score (SATB on separate staves + keyboard), it is useful to suppress empty staves when all the singers are silent, using: \score { \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }}} Is there a way to suppress this behaviour selectively, when one singer happens to have a few bars rest?
