James- This was the example I tried to use and it didn't work It may be
wrong but here's what I ended up with that did work
<< {
c8 f4 e b8 c8 g'4 f c8 d a'4 g d8 e b'4 c4.}
\new Staff = "melody" \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
\remove "Clef_engraver"
alignAboveContext = #"melody"
fontSize = #-6
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -5)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -5)
firstClef = ##f
}
{c,8 [f] ~ f [e] ~ e [b] c [g'] ~ g [f] ~ f [c]
d8 [a'] ~ a [g] ~ g [d] e [b'] ~ b [c] ~ c4 }
>>
Note that your suggestion I ended up putting in the '\new Staff' line.
This produced what I wanted.
