Ah, yes - thank you, I never noticed before that there was stuff indexed
under \blah as well as blah. Also, I hadn't twigged to the convention of
referring to blah as a command meaning \blah, I have always thought of
\blah it as inserting the thing defined by blah = xxxx into the lilypond
text. (Fair enough).

With the page pointed to by \RemoveEmptyStaves I arrived at

\layout { \context { Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } }

then I discovered that my recollection was correct - I had already been
here some years ago, when I arrived at this

\layout { \context {\RemoveEmptyStaffContext } }

so, I guess I should ask which form is preferred, if any?
