Re: [Denemo-devel] Time Signature Whiteout (was Proportional Notation)

Ok, thanks for the clarification. It's working great.

no, in the case where you want the whiteout to affect all time
signatures you can insert a single Denemo Directive at the start of the
music in the first staff. That directive should contain

   \override Score.StaffSymbol.layer = #4
   \override Staff.TimeSignature.layer = #3
   \override Staff.TimeSignature.whiteout = ##t

(you will need to paste this into the Entry Box of Directives->Insert
LilyPond as you cannot type carriage returns into that box).

My guess is that you only need it once, in one staff - this is a
LilyPond question though, not a Denemo one, and unfortunately I'm not a
LilyPond expert. You could experiment to see what works, or ask on
lilypond-user.gnu.org

You will need to send the LilyPond syntax you generated for me to
understand what you mean here...
