Have a look at section 6.4.3, "Time Signature" - you'll find what you're
looking for near the top of the page.
You'll have to be a bit more specific with regard to other issues; without
an idea of what you're trying to do, it's a bit difficult to suggest a
solution. Could you perhaps post a minimal example with your requirements?

You can put global tweaks in \layout, then it's a matter of choice whether
you keep it in a separate file or insert it into your \score block.

I was able set the 4/4 time signature in the /layout section, but as for setting other global settings, I can't seem to figure them out.
I'd like to be able to set modern style accidentals, and.. .well I can't think of anything else right now off the top of my head, but I'd like to be able to fix anything I want for the whole score at once.
I tried using the time signature thing as a model for doing the accidentals, but that didn't work,
for the time signature, I did this in the /layout {} section:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override TimeSignature #'style =#'()
}
}
Thanks for your help,
Michael
