Re: Failure to Recognise Partial Measures

[Will Oram]

Thanks. It seems it's beyond a documentation bug, as this situation  
is fairly common. If you have a partial measure at the end or have a  
non-4/4 work, you're pretty much stuck between choosing a) a ton of  
red herring errors, or b) force otherwise hidden staves to appear in  
the last system.

I'm sure this bug hasn't always been around. I only noticed it with  
2.10.
