Popis: We give a new proof of rationality of stable commutator length (scl) of certain elements in surface groups: those represented by curves that do not fill the surface. Such elements always admit extremal surfaces for scl. These results also hold more generally for non-filling 1-chains.
Comment: 17 pages; three figures have been added, along with some minor edits
