Hello,
I've been trying to create a score with a minimal number of bar lines
and no time signatures. Initially I used \cadenza, but that created a
spacing nightmare. I used \override Staff.TimeSignature, which works,
expect that the first note of each measure is too close to the bar
line (often, a bar line accompanies a time signature change). I was
wondering if there was a better way to go about this, or,
alternatively, how to change that spacing.
Also, I've been trying to figure out how to create brackets which
cross over staves. I would like the final group of 16th notes to be
one bracket. I feel like this should be somewhere, but I haven't
found it yet.
Thanks,
Kale

Do you guess I have some intricate purpose?
Well I have, as the April showers have.
Do you take it I would astonish?
Does the daylight astonish?
Does the early redstart twittering through the woods?
Do I astonish more than they?
