Thanks Mats..
I had a look but following the example this doesn't seem to produce anything
except the 12/8 time signature.
In fact changing the compress music doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
The example from the manual seems to work.. so I can't see what's wrong in
the example below...

Lilypond 2.7.10
