Re: Removing bar numbers with lilypond-book

[Mats Bengtsson]

Your example below works like a charm, if you just fix the
capital "S" that others already have pointed out.
I always write the \version statement outside the \score{...} block, but
it seems that it works to place it where you have it as well.

The alternative solution
\override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
has a disadvantage, namely that LilyPond still will allocate space for the
bar number, even though it's not printed, so the spacing between the score
lines may get unnecessarily wide (though the inter-score line spacing 
isn't handled
the same way when you use lilypond-book as when you use pure lilypond).
