Thanks
I'll give lilypond a shot
But it still has a spurious C (4/4 time) indicator.

it's the default, but you can change it:

\time 4/4

\numericTimeSignature

sorry, I didn't read your question.. of course you want to _hide_ the time signature, so:

\omit Staff.TimeSignature

this command works from version 2.18, the latest stable
