Re: time signature or no time signature

[Mats Bengtsson]

I recommend to take a look at the example
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#incipit.ly
To make the time signature invisible instead of the clef, just
replace Clef by TimeSignature in the property setting involving
transparent.
Actually, you don't need the \encincipit macro which includes some
tricks to typeset the clef, but if you are curious about how it's done,
it's defined in /usr/share/lilypond/*/ly/property-init.ly
