Have a look at /ly/property-init.ly. where \numericTimeSignature is defined: numericTimeSignature = \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'numbered But now you're using a new custom-defined context: "TimeSig" Replace Staff with TimeSig and it will work. > This snippet ( http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=609 > http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=609 ) prints only the numerator of the > time signature, which I need to get the "3".

I added the "2.14.2"-command \set Score.beatStructure = #'(2 2 2) Delete it if you want or replace it with an "2.12.3"-command. But please note: it _will_ affect the score. > I am using 2.12.3. Why do you use this outdated version? Well, some time ago the LSR was on "2.12.3" and that was the reason why I didn't delete this version, while installing the newer stable version and the newest development-version. But I'm absolutely sure that the LSR is now on "2.14.2" :) HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
