Re: How to suppress metronome marks?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Your attempt to do
\once \override MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
was almost right. The only reason that it didn't work is that
the property setting is done at the Voice level by default. Since
the metronome marks are created at the Score level, you have to say
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t

There's definitely no need to split into several scores as was
proposed by Gilles.
