Is it hard-coded to the size of A4 paper?  I haven't tried other paper 
sizes,
but with letter paper, staves are printed off the page.  I can now 
confirm
that the example I sent earlier does demonstrate this -- the staff with
the ^"invisible!" is not visible at all, and the previous staff is in 
the
bottom margin.
