New issue 3389 by address@hidden: Improve remove-empty behaviour
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3389

I want a new option to control the behaviour of `remove-empty' if there is  
not sufficient vertical space to put more than a single system on a page.   
As shown in the attached image, the current behaviour is not optimal,  
causing far too much vertical space.

I suggest a new option `remove-empty-single-system' (or maybe  
`single-system-remove-empty').  If set to the #t, all unused staves are  
retained.  If set to a list like this:

  remove-empty-single-system = #'("celesta" "harp")

the staves called `celesta' and `harp' get removed even if all
other systems would be added to fill the page.  This is useful for heavily  
crowded full scores with a big number of instruments.
