You CAN get rid of the bass clef in the Print options.
Ok, I guess that's always something, but... how??
I think the Wishlist item here is to add a choice to the menu option Melody to include a single treble clef staff (with no Tab).
Interesting, I was so sure such an obvious thing as a single-staff for melody would already be in there somewhere :

Thanks a lot for clearing this up for me.
And hey, the good news I can take from all this is at least it wasn't due to my own stupidity that I hadn't found the way!
