Hello Urs, There are two possibilities: 1.: use a little music-function-helper: --snip-- \version 2.15.36 dbtime = #(define-music-function (parser location frac)(fraction?) #{ \bar || \time $frac #}) % example \relative c' { c4 e g b \dbtime 3/4 c des b | c2. } --snip-- but this

Hello Jan-Peter and Tim, thanks for your replies. I would like to use this on sources I'm already working on. So I don't need to use your include construct. But I think I'll try out your Scheme engraver approach. If it doesn't work or behave as I would like, then I'll go for entering the

Thank you, Mattias, for showing me this workaround! You could also try to import the musicxml file into MuseScore: MuseScore is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. It does not only read musicxml, but midi as well. Plus: it exports in lilypond-format! I've had success in reading a musicxml
