Currently that *is* an issue. (Note: I don't compose into Lilypond; I tried it 
a few times, but found it *way* too frustrating!) Fortunately, the problem will 
be greatly reduced (possibly even eliminated?) in the near future, when the 
edition-engraver supports id- and anchor-based mods.

Not sure I understand your meaning…?
What is an example of a musical reason, *not* part of the presentation layer, 
for combining/separating staves?

Thanks,
Kieren.
