Geoserver MapFish plugin: absolutely positioning scale bar

Question

I have a map printed full page on A4 paper. I would like to put a scalebar over the map without printing in on the next page. Is it possible? My config.yaml currently looks like this:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainPage:
  pageSize: A4
  marginBottom: 0
  marginTop: 0
  rotation: true
  items:
    - !map
      spacingAfter: 0
      width: 595
      height: 842
    - !scalebar
      type: bar
      maxSize: 100
      barBgColor: white
      fontSize: 8
      align: right
    - !text
      font: Helvetica
      fontSize: 9
      align: right
      text: '1:${scale}'
