Hi Jakob,

The Danish book of chorales to accompany the official hymnal uses a peculiar "time signature" (which isn't really a time signature) for some hymns.

It's a small note, in this case a 𝅗𝅥  but elsewhere its a compound signature like 𝅗𝅥♩, to indicate the metre.
Maybe also use an actual TimeSignature living in a Dynamics context?

\version "2.24.0"

#(add-simple-time-signature-style
  'note
  (lambda (frac)
    (let ((den (cdr frac)))
      #{ \markup \tiny \note #(ly:make-duration (ly:intlog2 den)) #UP #})))

\layout {
  \context {
    \Dynamics
    \consists Time_signature_engraver
    \override TimeSignature.break-align-symbol = #'key-signature
    \override TimeSignature.style = #'note
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove Time_signature_engraver
  }
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff {
      \key d \major
      \after 1*6 { \break \time 2/2 }
      \repeat unfold 100 << d'4 \\ a4 >>
    }
    \new Dynamics {
      s1*25
    }
    \new Staff \with { \clef bass } {
      \key d \major
      \repeat unfold 100 << fis4 \\ d4 >>
    }
  >>
}

Lukas
