Re: alternate time sigs

[Kris Shaffer]

To accomplish something like what you referred to, I put this in the header:

tsMarkup = \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
  \number {
    \column { "2" "4" }
    \musicglyph #"scripts.stopped"
    \column { "3" "4" }
  }

and this in the score (note the tsMarkup):

% Variation VI
% rehearsal 52

      \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
  \time 5/4
      \once \override TextScript #'font-size = #3
      \once \override TextScript #'padding = #2

    d8) e d e \bar ":" c2 c16( d c d % \break
    e8) bes'-. e,-. bes'-. \bar ":" a4( g8) r e16( f e f
    g8) a-. g-. a-. \bar ":" fis2 r4 \bar "||"
      \revert Staff.TimeSignature #'print-function
      \revert Staff.TimeSignature #'text
  \time 4/4


  Hope this helps.

\override Staff.TimeSignature #'print-function = #Text_interface::print d8)^\markup { \bold { Var. VI } } g-. d-. g-. \bar ":" fis4( e8) r b16( c b c See the attachment for the result. This is a work-in-progress, so a few things on this page are still messy, but the time signature at 52 is fine. As for the parentheses in your example, you can make really big parentheses with \markup and offset them to the appropriate location.

I'd like to do this:

Now, I figure I can handle the "invisible" changes between 9/8 and 3/4
by using \compressMusic or \times as necessary.  I'm guessing that the
compound time signature hack could serve as a model for the displaying
the time signature as it is in the above example, but I only about half
understand how that all works.

Insights/comments/suggestions are welcome.
