it's possible to do this, but the noteheads still have equal
duration across staffs. (see below)
Implementing this implies that the code for doing time signatures must
be "relocatable", ie. movable between staff context and score context,
(whatever that is in denemo): so you have to make an extra effort to
modularize bits of denemo--which might be overkill for denemo.
#(set! space-alist (assoc-set! space-alist '("Staff_bar"
"begin-of-note") '(minimum_space 0.0)))
#(set! space-alist (assoc-set! space-alist '("" "Staff_bar")
'(minimum_space 0.0)))
\version "1.3.39"
\score{
\notes \relative c' <
\context Staff= AS {
\time 3/4;
c4 c c | c c c |
}
\context Staff=BS {
\time 2/4;
c4 c | c c | c c
}
% TODO: make c4. here align with c4 there.
\context Staff =CS {
\time 3/8;
c4. c8 c c c4. c8 c c
}
