Wow!  I decided to try this anyway, after compiling the latest from CVS.

Looks like the on-screen notation view stuff is fixed now.  Print preview 
still looks like it did in the screenshot I attached originally.  No title 
and whatnot whatsoever in the preview.

Previously, what I got on paper was always exactly what I saw in the preview, 
so I expected no difference.  I was wrong.  Hugely wrong.  I wish I had a 
scanner so you could see this!

It has the title/subtitle/composer at the top pretty as you please, and the 
copyright notice at the bottom.  The track names are printing in what looks 
to be a grossly oversized font (about 24 pt. I'd guess).  The bottom track 
name overlaps the copyright notice.

It only had room to print one bar with those huge names, and it seems to have 
printed the first bar in the first segment in time, even though that bar is 
actually pushed left past the beginning of the composition.  
(the-rose-garden.rg a version of which is in CVS already)

Trying again with a known notational quantity, I printed the first page of 
glazunov just fine.  It looks rather nice, actually.  Much better slurs than 
on-screen.  The only thing is it should print the notes in black instead of 
gray.  I guess this is supposed to be blue?  But why are these notes blue?  I 
don't even have an open notation view.

Hrm.  I bet the font overlap problem is not due to the big font per se, but 
confusion about where to draw the bottom margin.  Could even be an A4 vs. 
Letter question perhaps.  The bottom notes/flags on the bottom staff in a 
many-track composition are all cut off.

But it's a damn sight better than I was expecting.  Broken preview is far less 
critical than broken printing.  So this is progress indeed, and maybe worth 
the effort of having the futzed up crazy font config thing.
