Yes, that is the usual "we want quarter notes" mindset. Use something like: % for the shown mensuration symbol: \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2) % for the actual "bar" length: \time 3/1 > My second issue is that lilypond initially couldn't seem to find any of the > various mensural clefs that have a number on the end. ... As in mensuration sign + proportion, don't know to handle that. Perhaps something like: \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2) \time 3/1 % some magic things to make two time signs to be shown \once\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit \time 2/1 Regards, /Karl Hammar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aspö Data Lilla Aspö 148 S-742 94 Östhammar Sweden +46 173 140 57 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
