Hi Simon,
This is a minimal example for the issue you were having:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.22.1"
upper = { 1 \break 1 }
lower = { R1*2 }
\score {
\new PianoStaff << \upper \lower >>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveEmptyStaves
}
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Now that's interesting: For my taste, this is _too_ minimal. I don't
wouldn't recommend relying on the implicit creation of contexts to turn
\upper and \lower into staves (as opposed to, for instance, voices).
So, I would always write
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff \upper
\new Staff \lower
>>
Do you consider this inferior (or unnecessarily verbose and therefore
non-minimal)?
