Andrea,

I'm using 2.12.3. When I go to the page/section you've mentioned below, and then copy and paste the code there into a file and run it, it runs perfectly and produces the output of as shown on the page. Could you be more precise in the code you are trying to use that produces the errors you are getting?

This is the code I use:

\layout {
 \context {
   \Score
   \remove "Timing_translator"
   \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
 \context {
   \Staff
   \consists "Timing_translator"
   \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
}

% Now each staff has its own time signature.

\relative c' <<
 \new Staff {
   \time 3/4
   c4 c c |
   c c c |
 }
 \new Staff {
   \time 2/4
   c4 c |
   c c |
   c c |
 }
 \new Staff {
   \time 3/8
   c4. |
   c8 c c |
   c4. |
   c8 c c |
 }

Dear Collective Wisdom,

I am a lilypond noob using version 2.12.3.

I am working on making a score for a piece where each part has its own
independent time signatures like this example ""Staves with different
time signatures, unequal bar lengths":
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#Polymetric-notation

When I cut and paste the \layout code into my document I got error
messages saying \Score and \Staff are unacceptable.

I found a different solution (though now I can't find it anymore),
where you put these commands at the top, using \new Score instead of
just \score:

\new Score \with {
\remove "Timing_translator"
\remove "Default_bar_line_engraver" }

...
\new Staff = "violin 1" \with {
\consists "Timing_translator"
 \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver" }


It kind of worked, as in, it actually would parse the file and create
a .pdf. But everything is off by a sixteenth or so. For example it
prints 4/4, the first sixteenth, then a bar line, then the rest of the
piece.

The compiler window writes the following error message 24 times (I
thought the number would correspond to the number of measures rest the
violins have at the beginning, but alas, that is not so):

programming error: Multi_measure_rest::get_rods (): I am not spanned!
continuing, cross fingers

I cannot find anything about spanning multi-measure rests nor rods.
But my guess is that the multi-measure rests are merely a symptom and
not the actual issue.

Unfortunately, I don't know where to look anymore, having scoured the
documentation both on and offline.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Andrea
