No, I don't mean that. I mean the situation where Lilypond is only able to put a single system on a page (due to lack of vertical space), and if this is the case, I want lilypond to insert empty staves back to get a vertically well filled page. Maybe my option should be rather a list to handle the concern Keith has mentioned (overfull pages due to a very large number of staves). For example, it could be remove-empty-single-system = #'("celesta" "harp") so that the staves called `celesta' and `harp' get removed even if all other systems would be added to fill a single system.
