My plan to resolve issue 1669 was to treat empty lines of Lyrics and  
Dynamics by leaving them in the conceptual stack of lines, so they advance  
the baseline of the next line according to the minimum-distance setting,  
and act transparently to the skylines of lines above and below.  (Possibly  
what was meant by "neutral element" above.)

It is perfectly possible to mark off baselines, and remember the padded  
skylines of previous lines, in the presence of intermediate lines with  
empty skylines.

However, during the planning of page-layout, we do not want to count the  
minimum-distance of an empty Lyrics or Dynamics line, if the user has  
requested \removeEmptyStaves for that line.  The rules for guessing which  
lines to ignore are not quite consistent, but the discussion on the patch  
for issue 1669 might lead to a consistent solution.
