Regarding the request to display 4/2 as cut-c by default,
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3286
I think it would make sense to extend the default style to offer a simple
way to get the doubled symbols:
2/1 -> double cut-c (Schubert op. 90 no. 3)
4/2 -> double c (my obscure hymnal)
You mentioned that you would be satisfied if there were a different style
for your alla breve case. Do you really need a style or is the following
good enough?
timeAllaBreve = {
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob
#{ \markup \musicglyph #"timesig.C22" #}))
\time 2/1
}
Another thing that occurs to me is a possible parallel with non-numeric
tempo. When the single cut-c symbol is used to indicate 2/1, does it
need to be annotated with text? If so, would something like \time "alla
breve" 2/1 be any better than the way it has to be done now?
Another potential use for that is \time "swing" 4/4.
