OK.

\time 3/4
Also, the printed output does not reflect polymeter (attached) -- 3/4 in the
lower staff should occur one beat later.
(Really, this is for a section of ad-lib ordering of some chunks of notation,
where Gould recommends big [ brackets ] with barlines to denote the units to be
reordered. Since the units in different instruments are of different lengths, I
can probably just hide the barlines in different places... will have to see how
that lines up. Maybe set 1/4 time lol)
In any case, \enablePolymeter is a documented feature, and it appears to be
incompatible (at least in 2.24) with a common way of structuring ensemble
score/parts projects. I assume that's a bug, then.
