well you need to

1. remove the space with sed, so music  % 1 becomes  %1 also I added "a" at the end so it wouldn't get confused ie. %1 will also remove %10 %100 etc

2. since you used it after measure one sed can only delete measures after -- so 2 on

you could just input %1x in the files where you need to delete them .... but then why not just delete it :)

I suppose a nice bash script could fix all that though!

I use

    music   | % 1

Would sed still work?

Yet another reason to deprecate \relative, which I now avoid like the plague. (Unfortunately, I was suckered into using it when I started using Lilypond over a decade ago, so all my legacy code is in \relative mode. Using Frescobaldi, I’m slowly converting all my old code to absolute mode.)
