Re: Double Staff Tablature - No Stems is the Norm

[Joey Coyle]

Thanks Mats,

I have almost removed everything from the TAB staff to make it look  
like the professional guitar transcriptions in all my books.

But I can't seem to remove the TimeSignature from the TAB staff...    
here is what I have.  Why is \override TimeSignature #'transparent =  
##t  not working.

thanks,
joey

partition = {
    \key e \major
    e8\5 fis\5 gis\5 a\5 b\5 cis'\5 dis'\5 e'\5
    e8\4 fis\4 gis\4 a\4 b\4 cis'\4 dis'\4 e'\4
}


<<
\new Staff {
        \clef "G_8"
        \partition }
\new TabStaff {
        \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
        \override Beam #'transparent = ##t
        \override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
        \override TupletBracket #'number-visibility = ##f
        \partition}
