The score is harder to understand with this function, than it was after I expanded the function's contents in-line. The boundary of the action of this function (part timing, mostly printed representation) is hard to understand and remember.
This version of the function does partial changes to the internal timing, and part to the printed indication. The built-in functions described in the manual up to this point make consistent changes to *both* LilyPond's counting of measures and to the printed time signature. https://codereview.appspot.com/97110045/diff/80001/ly/music-functions-init.ly File ly/music-functions-init.ly (right): https://codereview.appspot.com/97110045/diff/80001/ly/music-functions-init.ly#newcode130 ly/music-functions-init.ly:130: alternatingTimeSignatures = The function does not do what its name implies, alternate time signatures, so you need a long explanation. LilyPond has a more understandable way to change the *printed* time-signature, with \override..stencil. I suggest you make a function to handle just the part that users might find difficult to do themselves: fractionList = #(define-scheme-function (parser location timesigs) (list?)

I have the impression that Staff. works just as well?
Well, if there are many staves, your function changes the initial time signature for the whole score, but prints the special indication only on one Staff, unless the user includes the function in each staff. (There is a context called Timing for the general case; Timing is usually the same as Score, unless the user has different meter in each Staff.) https://codereview.appspot.com/97110045/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
