No the function \stringNumbersOff does nothing in this case. It would only 
work if string numbers had been used, and then because it's turning them 
off, you wouldn't see anything in the output anyway. hah!

However, you'll know if functions.ly hasn't been found because lilypond will 
complain about unknown escape string "\stringNumbersOff"

The function works fine...have been using it for a few years now. It just 
sets StringNumber to transparent and zeros the X and Y extents so that the 
transparent string number does not take up any space.

Not it doesn't

In test.ly 3rd line.....\include "functions.ly"
