I'm afraid I can't help with all of the issues, but I can give you a start:
-------------------- latest attempt ------------------------------ \version "2.6.0" \paper { hsize = 21\cm vsize = 27.5\cm leftmargin = 2\cm linewidth = 17\cm topmargin = 1\cm bottommargin = 0\cm printpagenumber = ##f
Not only does this leave the page numbers, it makes the first system on odd/even pages start at a different Y-offset. Bug?
<snip>
\score { \new PianoStaff \with { % \override TimeSignature #’transparent = ##t % defaultBarType = #"" %% the two lines above cause output generation to fail completely %% despite having been suggested by the manual.
You have the wrong kind of apostrophe in the "#'transparent". This probably happened if you copy+pasted from a pdf: the pdf files try to make the output prettier by substituting a different symbol for apostrophes (the issue has come up previously on this list).
\remove Bar_number_engraver
This is wrong because Bar_number_engraver is part of the Score context, not the PianoStaff context. This stuff is pretty complicated, but the information is all available in the web documentation. The Bar_number_engraver page [http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Bar_005fnumber_005fengraver.html#Bar_005fnumber_005fengraver] says which contexts it belongs to. I would suggest turning the layout block into
\layout { indent = 0.0\cm \context { \Score \remove Bar_number_engraver } } to get rid of bar numbers. Hope that helps a little, Joe _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
