Whole bar rest disappears

[Brent Annable]

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry for spamming the list with my little problem, but it's driving me bananas and I'm at the end of my rope.

I produced a score from which I am now removing various sections by commenting them out. When I do this, the whole-bar rest in the final system of the piece disappears, and in the log file Lilypond complains of a barcheck failure (among other less fatal things). My guess is that, despite my efforts to tell Lilypond that I don't want any time signature in the piece (by turning off the engraver), it is still counting somehow, and that without the cuts the barlines coincidentally match up with what Lilypond is counting, and with the cuts, they don't.

My question is: what is the easiest way to solve this? I've racked my brain but am obviously still too new at this.

I've attached the files. Sorry for the lack of minimal example, but I don't think that would be much use here anyway as the problem would probably disappear. And I couldn't attach the PDF as it made the email too big, but I'm using the latest release so it's simple to generate.

Many thanks for any help,

Brent.
