Hi Paul,
Yes, I just got this figured out. What is odd is that there is another
point in the piece where the piano part does a R1 * 2 but the piano
staff doesn't get removed because - I guess - the R1 * x doesn't span
the entire width of the page? Can anyone out there explain how
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext works?
