... "want to change the number of beats" just in a single bar or in many
bars? When bars are frequently changing in length, you probably want to
completely forget about the meter and do something like this:
\version "2.9.0"
sep = \bar "|"
\score {
\transpose c c' {
c4 d \sep
e f g \sep
f e d c \bar "|."
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
\context {
\Score
timing = ##f
}
}
}
If you just want to change the meter for a single or very few bars, you
really should do it with the \time command (because that is what \time is
for). If you do not like the time signature change to be printed, you
still can remove the time signature engraver or set it to transparent.
