Dear David,
off course,You are right. It's not better to write \aksak #13 #8 #'(3 3 3 2
2 ) instead of \time #'(4 3) 7/8
The problem was: I've been using the alsak-variable before this kind of
syntax was possible and I've used it quite a lot.
An update with convert-ly didn't work in my case.
So, I'm happy, that I can use aksak as before, athough it isn't more
conventient than the standard syntax for rthis cases.
