Tarmo Uustalu has informed me that "It is not true that Rauszer didn't study sequent systems for H-B logic. In her paper [1], she proposes a Gentzen system where cut is eliminable (she claims, I haven't checked the proof). Her condition on sequents is: in no sequent may the antecedent and succedent both consist of more than one formula." [1] C Rauszer. A formalization of the propositional calculus of H-B logic. Studia Logica 33(1):23--34, 1974. Tarmo has now found a counter-example to the cut-elimination theorem of Rauszer.
