You could change the Time Signature in the previous measure to 8/8 or 16/16 (displaying as 4/4) to allow a finer selection of beats with the staff tool.

Doh! Forgot about hiding partial measures! Thanks, John. Now for a minor followup question. Here is what I got hiding the first half of that measure: <https://dl.dropbox.com/u/64656173/cue%20question%203.pdf>. Is there a way to hide just a bit more of the staff lines before the bass clef? I've tried placing a blank graphic over the staff lines, but doesn't seem to work when I print the page (the graphic is ignored and the staff lines show). There's probably some sort of kludge that will work...
