Greetings. I'm a long-time user of lilypond. I love it and have used it for my massive solo pipe organ transcription of a 30-minute movement of a symphony scored for large orchestra, so I feel like I know my way around Lilypond at an intermediate level. I don't really delve deeply into the Scheme underpinnings and such, so I wouldn't consider my self a bona fide power user just yet.
Here's the question. I'm familiar with the instruction \context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } It completely removes a staff from a system when all it contains is rests or spaces. It doesn't just hide the ledger lines like \stopStaff. It removes the staff and everything in it. Is there a way to tell Lilypond to stop showing a non-empty staff (that contains notes) and reclaim its space (don't leave an invisible staff taking up room) after the next line break? Is there also a way to tell Lilypond to begin redisplaying a staff so hidden and everything in it at the next line break? This would make it a lot easier to spilt a staff in the middle or a slur or a tie, for example.
