finally got some insight on what may have caused renegade "ghost
staves" in my document.

there is a documented issue with applying the "hide staff" staff
style (e.g. for cutaway scores) using the context menu and switching
between page / scroll view.

instead, make sure to use the metatool ("h" in the default doc) to
hide staves using the staff tool / staff styles.

(see thread from late june "renegade staves i can't get rid of")
