Thank you, the missing braces were, evidently, the problem. I had been
going through section 1.2.3.4 but had had no success. Looking at it
again, I see that the braces you told me about are *not* present on the
middle staff of the example in the docs, though they are present on the
third staff. Curious.

To answer your specific problem, you need braces
round the music to which the \scaleDurations should
apply, else it applies only to the first c8:
\relative c' {
\time 5/8
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(1 . 4)
\scaleDurations #'(5 . 2) {c8 c c4}
}
However, if you have not already done so, you may find it helpful to
read the section in the
Notation Reference which deals with polymetric
notation - section 1.2.3.4.

I have an odd score I'm copying for someone. In it, there is a
section in which to top staff is notated in 1/4 time and the other
four staves are noted in 5/8 time. I have managed to make it work by
altering the four lines in 5/8 but I would rather modify only one
part. I have not managed to get it to work.
In the example below what I expect to see is a measure of two eighth
notes followed by a measure of a quarter note. I'm getting two
eighths and the quarter in the first measure followed by a small
extension of the staff lines beyond the barline.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug/limitation?
