Hi Robert,

There’s a spurious instrument name setting. But given the structure of your
code, it’s very hard to spot.
Might I suggest putting all of your note code into variables, then building
them together in the score later, so that the code is easier [for a human] to
parse? Something like:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.80"
#(define-markup-command (stack layout props args) (markup-list?)
(interpret-markup layout props
#{ \markup \tiny \raise #0.5 \general-align #Y #CENTER
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \right-column #args #}))
sha = \markup { \fontsize #-3 \sharp }
natu = \markup { \fontsize #-3 \natural }
fla = \markup { \fontsize #-3 \flat }
theMelody = {
\clef "treble"
\key f \major

\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Cantus"
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 2/2

}

}
\score {

\new FiguredBass

\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0.5)
(stretchability . 10))
}
\figures_upper
\new RhythmicStaff s1*8
\new FiguredBass
\with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0.5)
(stretchability . 5))
}
\figures_lower
>>
\layout {
\context {
\RhythmicStaff
\omit TimeSignature
\omit BarLine
}
}
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
I’ve done a couple of other things to simplify the \score block — such as
tweaking the \RhythmicStaff context in the layout block rather than inline —
and there are more things you could (and I would!) do to take this philosophy
even further.

No doubt! I just don’t have time to look at that right now.
Hope this helps!
