What about harp parts? Anyone remove staves in those?

Hi Steve,
Yeah, there is basically no good reason not to remove empty staves
on piano parts, other than mindless fidelity to tradition. And
believe me, I understand that in certain contexts, mindless fidelity
to tradition is exactly what's required! (As I said in my previous
email, I would always make the piano parts in orchestral music grand
staves, because orchestral pianists are *exactly* the kind of
musicians to raise a snit about any deviation from the norm.) But
the tide is definitely turning on this one.
Cheers,

It's of course fine to use a singe staff for piano parts as well
Of course... but it is surprising how many piano (and synth) parts
I play that have pages and pages with one stave of two empty!
