Re: empty staffs with RhythmicStaff?

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's probably easiest to look at the definition of
RemoveEmptyStaffContext in
/usr/share/lilypond/1.4.*/ly/engraver-init.ly
(or wherever the file is located on your system).
Then, you can either add a new context type, redefine the existing
one using

\layout{
  \context{
    \RhythmicStaff
    \remove "Axis_group_engraver"
    \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver"
    \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'()
  }
}

or you can change the context defition for just a single
instance of the context using
\new RhythmicStaff \with {
   \remove "Axis_group_engraver"
    \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver"
    \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'()
}{ % Here comes the music }
