Re: Removing bar numbers

[D Josiah Boothby]

I've got the same problem, though with Pedro Kroeger's lilypond-snapshot 
(version 2.4.2). Here's a small example:

A .png can be found at the following url:
http://students.washington.edu/josiah/music/barnumbers.png

\version "2.4.2"

\header {
 title = "bar number test"
}

\score {
 { 
  \time 3/2
  \repeat unfold 72 { es'2 }
 }
 
 \layout {
  papersize = "letter"
  \context {
   \Staff
   \remove Bar_number_engraver
  }
    }
}
