Re: Trouble with voices: unwanted clef & time

[Mats Bengtsson]

These things happen as soon as you include some command
that can only be done within a Staff or Voice context, before
your own first \new Staff/Voice.
In this case, it's the \autoBeamOff command that causes the
problem. Just move it inside the \new Staff{...}. If you want
the setting to apply to all staves in the piece, you could
look into ly/property-init.ly to figure out what that \autoBeamOff
is simply a shorthand defined as
autoBeamOff = \set autoBeaming = ##f
So, you could either directly insert
\set Score.autoBeaming = ##f
within the code for one of the staves or redefine the default
definition of the Staff context in a \layout{...} block.

I was a bit surprised by your use of \new Score. It certainly
seems to work, but the more conventional structure is to say
\score{
<<
 \new Staff ...
 \new Lyrics ...
>>
}
