Hey Andrew, I did receive your other email. I guess the one emailed directly to me got through. I haven't had time to go through everything you wrote yet but I would be interested in seeing that part of the Lilypond file. I'm hoping my problem doesn't require a complex solution since all I'm trying to do is end a staff where it's supposed to end and I'm not worried about making them all line up.
Anyway, if you can find it, check out the last email I sent to the list where I point out what might be a bug in Lilypond. The extra staves only occur if the final not is an actual printed note. For staves that end in a rest or space, no more extra staves are created. What's more, the behavior only seems to happen if the duration is less than a quarter note. Thanks for your help on this, hopefully I'm getting closer to a solution.
