There is a much easier way to do this thant I originally imagined. I
enclosed the function that I came up with and a snippet to
demonstrate.
When you compile, note that the only problem is that the alignment
behavior of the ReheasalMarks is undesirable, due to the ReheasalMark
being moved to the Staff context.
Marks at the beginning of the line incorrectly align to the bar
instead of the clef, and marks mid-system incorrectly align to
mid-system clefs when they should align to barlines.
I'm willing to sponsor a fix to this if anyone is willing.
This function is useful for proportionalNotation scores because it
automates placement of faux time signatures completely outside the
staff. It is a little hacky because I found that the markformatter
function had to be re-defined in each instance in order to be able to
pass a different timesig argument to it.
Best,
Adam
