Of course.

yes, that's correct. the music is suppressed, but the dynamics will be
shown. this is why i suggested using a global structure definition
which you can include in all voices (very useful for orchestral music
where you have to generate parts).

if you put a dynamics context as topmost context in your score, i'm
not sure if RemoveEmptyStaves will also nuke that one. shouldn't
really matter though, as soon as you put something in that context, it
will be alive and shown again.
