Line counting starts with the lowest line at 0 and goes up the screen. 
Somewhere, a hard-coded number of lines is set to "5". It seems to start with 
line 4 at the top and draw down the screen (in increasing y coordinates). The 
extra line is appearing at the bottom of the staff (largest y) and is being 
ignored, hence the kludge. On a 7-line tab staff, the fret number gets drawn 
2 lines too high, etc.

That hard-coded value needs to go away and be replaced with 
LinedStaff::getLineCount(), but I can't find it. I suppose I could grep the 
entire project for "5", but I was hoping you could point me in the right 
direction.
