Version 2.8.something, the current stable version. I noticed "notime" 
described in section 13.5 of the documentation, but couldn't find a 
dedicated entry for it anywhere else. I didn't know which block it should 
go in, either.

Sorry, I miscopied that in the email; I did in fact capitalize it in my 
score. It still doesn't work. Is the syntax right, with the apostrophe 
appearing after the first two # signs? Which block should the override go 
in?

And is this the appropriate way to hide a time signature?
