It depends: do you mean in *well-engraved* modern music? :) (no, I'm just joking) > For example in Jazz scores if you have only a chord progression with nothing > specific to play a single staff is sufficient for the pianist. > Or if you write for bands who play latin american music, the piano player > often doubles the right hand with the left hand an octave lower. > A latin pianist knows that and therefore needs only a single staff. Yes, I saw such scores, but this is only (AFAIK) for a pattern, a riff, or a montuno, anything very repetitive. I don't remember having seen one single staff on a page, then two staves on the next page, then one single again, etc. So I think this is more about regularity. > When I write scores I try to reduce as much as possible, sometimes I even > write both hands in one staff as long it is readable. > This is not so much for the entire score but for the individual part later. > Especially the piano part gets usually twice as much sheets as a wind player > for example.

If nobody has anything to add, I'll file a bug report, more as an "Enhancement" than a "Defect", suggesting to implement Kieren's keepAliveTogether property. Any comments?
