Hi Graham,
you will most likely have a PianoStaff for the keys and a ChoirStaff or
StaffGroup (or the like) for the choir. You can consist a grouping
context (ChoirStaff,StaffGroup,...) with:
\consists "Keep_alive_together_engraver"
That way the whole group disappears only, if all child-context would
disappear on there own.
IIRC the PianoStaff context consists this engraver per default.

In a vocal score (SATB on separate staves + keyboard), it is useful to
suppress empty staves when all the singers are silent, using:
\score { \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }}}
Is there a way to suppress this behaviour selectively, when one singer
happens to have a few bars rest? In other words, force the tenor (for
example) to display a line of R1 rests, to prevent the score suddenly
appearing as SAB + keyboard for a line?
