Re: Removing time signatures (yet again!)

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have misunderstood the syntax. Just move the
\once \override commands within the curly braces,
i.e. keep them together with the actual music.

By the way, are you sure that you want to use the "\once",
which means that the time signature will only be removed
on the first staff line, not later in the score.

There are several other alternatives to do this kind of
property settings, for example if want to make one setting
that applies to all staves of all scores. These things are
described in the manual, but I have an idea of how to
explain it more clearly and hopefully I will get the time to
update the manual soon, based on these ideas.
