Hi, Wim:
what is the correct way to go back to the normal notation when this is embedded inside a piece.
I think you just need to: 1. Add \once before the \override; or, 2. Use \revert Staff.TimeSignature after the hack. I've included sample code for both options below. Best regards, Kieren. \version "2.8.1" \layout{ragged-right = ##t} #(define (compound-time grob one two num) (interpret-markup (ly:grob-layout grob) '(((baseline-skip . 2) (word-space . 2) (font-family . number))) (markup #:line ( #:column (one num) #:lower 1 "+" #:column (two num))))) \markup { "Option 1" } \relative { \time 4/4 \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c } \time 6/4 \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (compound-time grob "4" "2" "4")) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 5 8) 1 4) \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c c c } \time 4/4 \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c } } \markup { "Option 2" } \relative { \time 4/4 \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c } \time 6/4 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (compound-time grob "4" "2" "4")) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 5 8) 1 4) \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c c c } \revert Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil \time 4/4 \repeat "unfold" 3 { c4 c c c } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
