I think this is what you are looking for. I'm not sure where I found the
code so I can't give credit to its author:
%%%
#(define ((time-alternate-time upa downa upb downb) grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob
(markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number
(#:line (
(#:center-column (upa downa))
(#:center-column (upb downb)))))))
% and use it like this (5/8, 4/8 in this case):
\override Score.TimeSignature.stencil =
#(time-alternate-time "5" "8" "4" "8")
%%%
