>From the lilypond online documentation, I went to the index and looked up Time Signature. A reference on that page points me to the TimeSignature object in the program reference. Following that link, I get a list of properties that can be adjusted. One of them is break-visibility, which seems like it might apply, because I want to make it invisible. Links on this page point to various interfaces used by TimeSignature. One is item interface, which discusses how break-visibility can be used to make the time signature show up at the end of a line, at the beginning of a line, or never. A second link on the time signature page points me to the grob-interface, which contains the stencil property that describes the item to print. Recent discussions on making accidentals invisible show how to use break-visibility (http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-02/msg00238.html) and stencil (http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-02/msg00285.html) to keep from printing accidentals. Both of these could be used to prevent time signatures from printing by applying them to TimeSignature instead of to Accidental. I prefer to use the break-visibility override instead of the stencil override, because I think it is the more logical property to make things invisible. Also, from the TimeSignature page in the program reference, we see a link to Time_signature_engraver. There we learn that Time_signature_engraver is part of a Staff context. This leads to the following code: %%% BEGIN %%% \version "2.10.5" \new Staff { \override Staff.TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #all-invisible cis'4 cis'4 cis'4 cis'4 \time 3/4 \break cis'4 cis'4 cis'4 cis'4 } %%% END %%% which works -- the time signatures are all removed, and no space for them is allowed.
