Thanks, Richard. I tried experimenting with this but as you speculated, I
do need some help with inserting the Lilypond Denemo Directive. I'd like to
set the whiteout globally for all time signatures (and later for key
signatures) in the piece. Do I attach the directive at the first time
signature in each voice (the pieces alternates between different time
signatures)? I also tried inserting the directive before the music
(pitches), but it messed up the score layout ... Thank you!
