Re: Unwanted Time signatures

[Mats Bengtsson]

What you have done in your example below is actually to typeset a number
of separate scores after each other. Many things are optional in the 
LilyPond
syntax, which is convenient since it saves typing but also can cause 
confusion
if you are not familiar to the program.
When you say something like
\relative c'{ c d e f}
at the top level of the file, this is actually a short-hand for
\score{
 \new Staff{
   \new Voice{
     \relative c'{ c d e f}
   }
 }
}

Also, if you have several \score{...} blocks following each other in the
.ly file, LilyPond will typeset them one and one after each other in the
output, and this is what happened to you.

If you want all the music below to be treated as a single score, you could
for example add
\new Staff{
before the first \relative  ...
and a matching right curly brace at the end of the file.
