Folks, I have a score in which the first two systems each have 3 verses (lines of text) underneath, and the next three systems are the chorus and have only one line. Each system is one line of music. I saw that there is some control over the inter-system spacing, but it is not clear to me how to

Did you look at the section "9.1.3 Modifying context plug-ins"? It includes an example for removing exactly the same engraver. However, if you want to remove the time signature on all staves, I really recommend to method described in Sect. "9.1.5 Changing context default settings" instead, which

What LilyPond version do you use? I'm afraid you have hit a bug in version 2.6. If you upgrade to the latest development version it seems to work much better. Still, you might need to insert an invisible grace note in the left hand part to get the bar lines correct, see the comment at the end of
