Hi Kieren,

1. Is there any objection to me adding a TimeSignature style which would
immediately apply to all already-accepted time signatures?
2. If not, does anyone have opinions on what that style name should be? (Ones
that seem like obvious candidates to me include 'note-denom, 'notehead, and
'glyph… but I’m happy to hear suggested alternatives.)
I think that would be a great first contribution for you.
As for the name: Probably "denominator" and "note" should be a part of
the name. "notehead" is wrong (you want to be able to distinguish
crotchets and quavers and whatever English names I can come up with to
annoy you ;-).) And if note-denominator is too long, note-denom might
actually be a reasonable candidate.
Question: What should happen if TimeSignature.style = #'note-denom is _not_ set, but the
user does \time 4 { 8.~8 } ? Should this emit a warning "can't display this in
current style", or ...
For this longer-term project (\time \musicDenom 3 { 8.~8 }), there would
be significant design choices involved: Which part of a music expression
should be honoured, and what effect should they have especially on the
beat structure of the created time signature?
