Hi Neil:
The closest I've got is in creating a new staff context with the
properties of \RemoveEmptyStaffContext,
but it only allows you to choose whether a particular stave can be
hidden or not.
If you read the Hara_kiri_engraver docs, it says
______________________
Like Axis_group_engraver, but make a hara-kiri spanner, and add
interesting items (ie. note heads, lyric syllables and normal rests)
Properties (read)
keepAliveInterfaces (list)
A list of symbols, signifying grob interfaces that are worth
keeping a staff with remove-empty set around for.
______________________
If that property were settable (on the fly), we could add
MultiMeasureRest to (or remove it from) the keepAliveInterfaces as
desired -- that would solve the problem!
Developers: any chance you can do this (or something similar, with an
equivalent result)?
I've still got a few Euros burning a hole in my PayPal account... =)
Thanks,
Kieren.
