Dag Hans, I also asked on the GitHub forum of arranger.ly. Raphael Hardy checked and has found the same behavior on newer lily pond versions. Some upgrade is needed there.

The manual says: "- A position is denoted by a bar number. What if the position should not begin at the start of a measure? In such a case, the position is a list of integers: '(n i j k …) where n is the bar number, and i j k … are powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc…) denoting the distance from the beginning of the n-th bar.3 “ But I cannot get that to work correctly. The code below shows the current c1 in bar 13 (So rm seems to use the count of 4 per bar. The 3/4 setting does not influence that. What am I doing wrong??? My guess would be you missed the first of the two prerequisites mentioned in the docs: --- Two prerequisites to using the functions 1. Have all meter changes in a \global variable, e.g.: global = { \time 4/4 s1*2 \time 5/8 s8*5*2 \time 3/4 s2.*2 } This enables arranger.ly to convert all measure numbers to LilyPond moments. --- No computer at hand to test, but my gut feel tells me when you move the 3/4 time sig to your global it starts working as you expect Never mind, that would not be it, I spotted you (try to) use the strategy of addendum I in the docs, must be something else interfering there.
