Re: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 142, Issue 80

Hi, Jay--

i'm not sure of everything you're trying to do, but change your layout block to this:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove Note_heads_engraver
    \remove Rest_engraver
    \consists Completion_heads_engraver
    \consists Completion_rest_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove Time_signature_engraver
  }
}

You'll get rid of all time signatures--err, at least i did, and i'm not the most advanced user.  You can also erase your \override command for the time signature.

i recently used the compound meter.  i thought that Lilypond added the "in between" barlines by default and used bar checks inside the compound meter, only to find that i was getting time signature errors when compiling the file.  The output didn't have any of those "in between" barlines, so i deleted the bar checks and added the missing lines manually.  i did this all in my music variable.  i suspect there is a way to get Lilypond to change its default behavior and add those barlines, itself, but as i said, i'm not the most advanced of users.  i hope this little bit helps, though.

Take care,
bill
