Hello. I'm writing a score of a song of which there are 16 measures of only rests in two instruments (the rhythm and the drumkit). I've used the RemoveAllEmptyStaves command to remove (obviously) the unnecessary staffs. However, the drumkit doesn't get removed like it should. The drumkit staff is independent by itself; it is not part of a group staff. It is, however, a DrumStaff. I've looked at the documentation (Hiding Staves <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/hiding-staves>) and found a similar situation (the double bass not being removed). However, the D.B was not removed because it was part of a section/group staff. Adding injury to the cause, I was not able comprehend the use of "Keep_alive" commands.
Any help would be appreciated Lucas
