I want to write a piece with a alla-breve time signature but with four half
notes in a measure (4/2).
Is it better to overwrite the time signature stencil and use \time 4/2 or do it
like this:
\version "2.18.2"
\relative c'' \scaleDurations 1/2 {
\time 2/2
r2 g g g | f f g b | b a b1
}
Noeck,

Thanks. I should have found this.
My main question which solution is more correct? Scaling the durations
or changing the printed time signature?
For the printed output it doesn’t matter. Scaling the durations seems
most tedious to me, and overriding the stencil is also more complicated
than a third possibility:
\time 2/2
\set Timing.measure-length = #(ly:make-moment 4 2)
But it’s up to which coding you prefer, actually. To me, a really
"correct" solution would be \override TimeSignature.style – but this
works only for \time 4/4 and \time 2/2. So you need to use something
more intrusive.
Best, Simon
