Why does a hidden Time Signature become un-hidden in PDF export?
Measure 18. I'm seeking to remove barlines (accomplished), standard rests (accomplished) and the time signature. But when I export to PDF, the time signature is visible.

When I load your score, select these 35/8 in 18 and then press 'v' this signaure gets hidden. When creating a PDF it is also hidden there.

I wonder if the "courtesy time signature" happens to show up, in spite of your instructions to hide it IN the measure in question. Which I can look into disabling... or just not hide time signatures at all. Still, I appreciate your time spent analyzing this.
