Dear Kieren, thanks for Your help, but I guess, would be still to complicated. Because I have too many bar changes in the score and too many other things in the Time-Sig, like ritarrdando, etc. Or is it maybee possible too hide the Staff, but not too hide the TimeSignature? I don't know, how to do

Hi Stefan, Because I have too many bar changes in the score There is no limit to the number of bar changes in my method. and too many other things in the Time-Sig, like ritarrdando, etc. Those should be in a global variable as MetronomeMark (or at least RehearsalMark), so that you can

Dear Kieren, I've provided a new (musically senseless) example. What makes me wondering: How it is possible, that the Metronome-mark is shown only in the top-staff? I wish, this would be possible also with the ritardando (which I don't need in the third Staff) and with the timesignature, which

Dear Lilypond users, I still have the problem with getting the right distance between first staff and TimeSig. In the below quoted snippet, the first staff is not alwys the same. How can I (if possible, automatically) control the distance between TimeSig and first staff? Here is the snippet:

Hi Stefan, Have you considered abandoning the TimeSig context, and simply adjusting the TimeSignature of the topmost Staff directly? Using #'font-size, #'X-extent, and #'X-offset (or #'extra-offset), you can get the same effect, with perfect spacing every time -- the only thing you need
