I've never had any such problems. Check out the graphics in: http://dfenton.com/Sib/ and you'll see onscreen display of non-printing expressions (not really readable, but they are setting pan). Compare http://dfenton.com/Sib/FoersterX.gif to http://dfenton.com/Sib/FoersterX_Finale.gif (the screenshot). That doesn't really demonstrate the point, but I've never had any issues with it. You could easily test it yourself to demonstrate that it's not an issue. -- David W.
