Re: Separate time signatures in left and right hands.

Yes. See 
[https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#polymetric-notation](https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#polymetric-notation)

Adapting the example from the documentation:

```
\version "2.24.2"

\layout { \enablePolymeter }

\relative <<
  \new Staff {
    \time 3/4
    c'4 c c |
    c4 c c |
    \break
    c2.
  }
  \new Staff {
    \time 3/4
    \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 9/8
    \scaleDurations 2/3 {
      \repeat unfold 3 { c8[ c c] }
      \repeat unfold 3 { c4 c8 }
    }
    \unset Staff.timeSignatureFraction
    \time 3/4
    c2.
  }
>>
```


Best,
