Thank you, James and Daniel, for your suggestions.

This has dogged me for several weeks and I finally gave up. Now, seeing 
the overall structure without notes in it, I think I finally understand. 
This will be useful, since I will primarily be setting guitar music, 
where inner voices tend to appear and disappear in a seemingly random way.

Timely advice. I'll probably make use of it today on a different project.

By the way, I defined "concert" as 9x12 (inches) in paper.scm, which is 
a fairly common page size for music folios in North America (or at least 
it used to be). Should this be available in future versions by default? 
Here's the line I added under the "North American Sizes" comment in 
paper.scm:

("concert" . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in)))

Thanks again for the guidance.
