To elaborate a little on David’s response:

The first bar of part 5: Ecce gratum, from Orff's Camina Burana states
a time of 4 \breve notes. In the Schott-edition I have, that is noted
not on the staff, but above it.
This would be replicated in LilyPond by \omit Staff.TimeSignature and
creating custom markups for the time signatures, either as \mark or
inside a special context (for example using the method in
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=1010).
Is there a possiblility in Lilypond to define that time? Simpy issuing
"time 4/\breve" gives an error message in version 2.19.65
This is because a duration isn’t the same as any number to LilyPond;
specifically the \time command expects to be given a fraction (of
numbers) (that is then internally represented as a Scheme pair).
Technically, this would be 4/(1/2) in your case, but that isn’t
supported by Lily, so you have to use 8/1. I have to say, it would be
kind of cool to write
\version "2.19.82"
{ \time #'(4 . 1/2) \breve \breve \longa }
but that’s not how it works ;-)
Best, Simon
