Re: trouble with RemoveEmptyStaffContext

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Graham,

you will most likely have a PianoStaff for the keys and a ChoirStaff or StaffGroup (or the like) for the choir. You can consist a grouping context (ChoirStaff,StaffGroup,...) with:

\consists "Keep_alive_together_engraver"

That way the whole group disappears only, if all child-context would disappear on there own.

IIRC the PianoStaff context consists this engraver per default.

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?  In other words, force the tenor (for example) to display a line of R1 rests, to prevent the score suddenly appearing as SAB + keyboard for a line?
