Re: \time command

[Noeck]

Hi Jérôme,

\time is accepted basically anywhere in a music expression.
You seem to be confused by the different meaning of braces:
1) enclosing a music expression
2) grouping arguments

In your case:
1) Your music (\time 4/4 c1) must be put into braces to form a music
expression, otherwise they would be two independent objects put into
your score and it can handle only one music expression.
2) \score must have braces around its content (which can be music, a
\header, a \layout or a \midi block), like

\score { { \time 4/4 c1 } }

\time 4/4 is your music, the c1 is separate and has not meaning here
(therefore unexpected).

The {} around the score arguments is missing.

HTH,
