My gut feeling is that formatting a compound meter should encompass formatting a simple meter, and I’ve been trying to understand where to draw the line. If both \compoundMeter #(2 3 8) and \compoundMeter 4/4 could be made to work, why bother keeping both \compoundMeter and \time? Why not just let \time do all the work? (I’m not proposing that I combine these commands, but that I leave the code in a state from which it is easier to move later.)
