Re: \RemoveEmptyStaffContext doesn't remove empty staff

Hi,

In some piano music, you may have three different levels, as it were, e.g. a melodic line in the treble, played by the right hand, a deep bass consisting of long notes in the left hand, and in between chords filling in the time between the bass notes, also played by the left hand. In such a situation, which would likely involve large jumps of the left hand that may even reach into the realm of the treble clef, the score is easier to read if you distribute the notes played by the left hand on two staves and have the line of the right hand in the third (uppermost) staff.

And sometimes four can be used, as in Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor where the number of staves to a system fluctuates between two and four:

Can't think of an example off-hand that uses more.
