Thanks David and Carl for the responses.

I tried David's suggestion, but it didn't help.  I had apparently copied the 
"firstClef = ##f" from another example file.  Removing that does let the clef 
print on the first measure, but there is still no time signature.

Regardless, Carl, I like your general restructuring, and I'll pursue that 
approach and see where it takes me.

Thanks again to you both.
