\RemoveEmptyStaves

[Richard Gress]

Hi all,

 

Why is \RemoveEmptyStaves not working the way I’m using it? The output still shows blank staves in a ten-page document. Uncommenting the global command doesn’t work, either.

uppera = \relative c'' {

               %MUSIC

}

 

upperb = \relative c' {

               % MUSIC

}

lowera = \relative c {

               % MUSIC

}

 

lowerb = \relative c, {

               % MUSIC

}

 

\score {

  \new PianoStaff \with {

    instrumentName = "Piano"

  } <<

    \new Staff = "uppera" \uppera

    \new Staff = "upperb" \upperb

    \new Staff = "lowera" \lowera

    \new Staff = "lowerb" \lowerb

  >>

 

  \layout {

 

   \context {

 

     \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves

 

     % To use the setting globally, uncomment the following line:

 

     %\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t

 

   }

 

}

}
