Hey Joey,
The easiest way would be to create an override for the time signature stencil:
{
\time 2/8
\once \override Score . TimeSignature #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:override '(baseline-skip
. 0) (#:center-column (#:number "2" #:number "10")))))
b8 b
}
Cheers,
MS
