the following example is a modified version of something that Adam James Wilson wrote for me (you can search the archives for "problem with full-measure rests in differently time-scaled staves" Maybe there is an easier solution to your problem and this is a bit overshoot

ole

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.10.15"

\layout {
 \context { \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
 \context {
   \Staff
   \consists "Timing_translator"
   \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
 }
}

<<

 \new Staff {

     \time 12/8
     \compressMusic #'( 2 . 3 ) {

     \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6 6)

        b8 b b b b b a a a a a a

         b8 b b b b b a a a a a a

         b8 b b b b b a a a a a a

Hello folks

I'm transcribing a piece for two 6-part choirs, arranged in 2 ChoirStaffs, Choir 1 and Choir 2. At first the time signatures for both choirs are the same, but part way through they change to separate time sigs: Choir 1 to 12/8 dotted crotchet = 40; Choir 2 to 4/4 crotchet = 40. So bar lines still fall together. I've tried entering \time and \tempo for each line, but the Choir 2 4/4 over- rides the Choir 1 12/8. I suppose I could enter all the Choir 1 stuff as triplets in 4/4, but I'd prefer to retain the two different time sigs if possible.

Anyone know of a way of achieving this?

Thanks
Roz
