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)?

Lukas
