Hi Ben,
I need to create a wind ensemble engraving where the time signatures
are large and *within* the staves themselves, overlapping specific
instruments/groups throughout the score. I know how to place the time
signatures above the staff but I can't find a way to place them
within the instruments and groups.
Does anyone know a snippet or function that allows this? Is it fairly
easy to implement?
The first variant is very easy to achieve:
\version "2.19.80"
noTimeSig = { \omit TimeSignature }
largeTimeSig = {
\numericTimeSignature
\override Staff.TimeSignature.font-size = 9
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
c''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}

The second one is harder because it probably involves dealing with the
precise amount of space between to staves - maybe for determining the
size, but certainly for the positioning (which should be centered with
respect to a group of two or more staves). It's no problem at all to
move the time signature downwards, a fixed amount, but this is bound
to mess up when inter-staff space varies. Logically, such a time
signature should not be belong to a single staff but to a set of
successive staves. Maybe one of the Lilypond/Scheme-wizards here will
come up with something like that.

Thank you!

Hi Ben,
Since (at least in the first example) the time signatures are centered on a
staff, why not just increase the size of the TimeSignature grob, and then \omit
(or \hide) it from other staves?

Thanks for that suggestion on the first variant, that's actually easier
than I had thought it would be!
Kieren,
That was my first thought but I kept getting duplicate signatures when I
was trying it. I'm positive it was user error.
When I increase the grob, how (or can?) I adjust it on the fly for
certain pages if the distance between instruments change for layout
reasons? Otherwise the grob would look 'off'.
How could I approach that case if possible? Thanks! :)
PS. Sorry about the duplicates, I accidentally hit send before I
pngquant'd my attachments. Tried to cancel the send but wasn't fast enough!
