In gschem you are not even bound to nudges. My default title block is
deliberately just that -- a title block with no fixed frame.

If I want a frame for printing, I just draw a rectangle that fits the
schematic. BTW, this title block features predefined attributes for
the whole schematic. These can be changed from within the GUI like
any other attribute.

I find printed copies indispensable when working with other people.
Nothing beats the flexibility of good old pencil sketches.
