Basically, there isn't IMHO, but in modern scores if you have numbers everywhere for time signatures, having C instead of 4/4 as the default looks funny. My solution (within the 2.2 series) to globally use 4/4 is this: ... \paper { \context { \StaffContext \override TimeSignature #'style = #'() } } Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
