Please always tell what LilyPond version you use when asking questions.
Also, please use [email protected] for general usage questions like
this one and keep lilypond-devel for questions specific for the latest
development version (2.7.x for the moment).
I just tried the following example with LilyPond version 2.6 and 2.7
and it doesn't present any problems.
\version "2.6.0"
\relative c'{
\time 10/4
c2 d e f g |
}
If you don't want to print the time signature, take a look at the
email entitled "Re: unmetered music question" that I sent to the
lilypond-user mailing list earlier today (it's not in the archives
yet but will be in a few hours time).

I just downloaded Lilypond in order to improve the printing of psalm chants in
our church Sunday news sheet. We use a psalm-chant system created by one of
our congregation. The normal chant covers 2 verses of the psalm, with 10
crotchet beats per half verse. The chant's 4 quarter-verses are therefore
printed as 4 bars, each of 10 crotchet beats. Each bar is a semibreve,
followed by 2 crotchets, followed by another semibreve.
We don't actually want a time-signature in the output (because, like the
traditional Anglican chant, timing doesn't mean anything when you are
chanting), but that doesn't matter. My problem is that I can't see how to get
the output I want, with only 1 bar-line per 10-crotchet phrase. Lilypond
seems to reject a time-signature of 10/4. Although it is an odd
time-signature to want, it ought to be possible to implement it. Why does it
not work? The best I have been able to get has been 6/4, and using PaintShop
Pro to remove or shift the bar-lines has produced a messy result.
Best wishes
