As previously noted in kieren's email, you need to add "Staff." before TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f in order to specify the context that you want the override to take place in. In the Internals reference, you can see that the TimeSignature engraver lives in the Staff context, and as explained in the learning manual section 4.3.1 (using barlines instead of time signatures, but exactly the same situation) when you want to override the visibility of something, you have to tell lilypond which context it's in, if it's not the implicit Voice context. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
