commit 8c166ecb8d1049c3c54f0488dbcbe22de6eb6a51

Add dynamic-interface to keepAliveInterfaces
This will prevent \Remove[All]EmptyStaves from removing
Dynamics contexts containing dynamics attached to spacer
rests but no actual notes (the standard use case
for a Dynamics context). Also improve the documentation
about \RemoveEmptyStaves and \RemoveAllEmptyStaves.
```
(That was my first patch.)
Given that I was way less comfortable with English at the time
than I am today, it is possible that I fell into the trap of a
false cognate: the French "cordes frottées" sounds similar to
"fretted strings" but in fact means "bowed strings".
Cheers,
Jean
