LilyPond defines it as:
1.132 Frenched score
ES: partitura a la francesa, I: ?, F: ?, D: ?, NL: ?, DK: ?, S: ?, FI: partituuri francesan tapaan.
A ‘condensed’ score, produced by omitting staves for instruments that are not playing at the moment, and by moving up additional systems from following pages to take up the space thus liberated, which reduces the total number of pages used to print the work.
A Google search of "Frenched score" yields only references to LilyPond, so it seems that they have invented this phrase.
IMO, this would be difficult to implement.
It would be useful to be able to "print" each system to its own graphic file for post-processing and recombining.
The Win 3.1 version had an option to save a page as a *.bmp file. The problem with saving *.emf files is that most programs want to shrink them. I have some User Tool workarounds for this but they are not pretty.
