Ralph, look here: http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/temp/time_sigs.ly I've used this, with some adjustment in the 2.13 development versions, and I think it works unaltered in 2.12. It should do exactly what you want. In some of the later 2.13 versions you have to manually control beaming

Even if that is perfect for your needs, you might want to take a look at Reinhold’s code anyway. It provides the proper Bartókian output (3+3+2/8), while the LSR code can only produce 3/8 + 3/8 + 2/8 type output. I prefer the former as cleaner and easier to read. -Arle Thank you, James -

Somebody in this list used the notation of writing just the number in the staff, and the '+' decomposition above it and the staff within parenthesis in smaller size. That seems me to be a good idea. The '+' is not needed if the decomposition can be seen from the beaming. Seems like a good

Apologies for a question not directly related to Lilypond, but is there anyone who works with the documentation for Lilypond on this list with whom I could interact privately? I am working on a totally unrelated open-source project and we we are faced with about 500 pages of legacy

I’ve gone ahead and submitted the lyric mode spacing issue to the gmane lilypond bugs list. This is the first time I've submitted a bug and as I look at the other postings, so I'll askhere if I need to do anything beyond posting it there to get the bug actually listed?For what it's worth, I've

Possible bug in lyrics mode

Hi all, Just thought I'd mention something I believe to be a bug in lyrics mode, but thought I'd ask if there is a rationale for it before I submit. I found this a few weeks ago and got a workaround thanks to the list, but it was a bit of a pain and I can't help but think this is a bug. Line

Alternative polymetric representation

(Sorry for the lengthy post, but a couple of issues came up when I tried to work with an older file I did some time ago.) About 18 months ago Reinhold helped me figure out how to display time signatures like (3+3+4)/16 in which there is a complex upper portion of the time signature over a

Thanks to Alexander for the quick fix. I hadn't found that bit (obviously), in part because I wasn't thinking about it in the context of beams, but rather in the context of polymetric time signatures and that problem. Had I thought to look in the semi-obvious place, I suppose I would have found

Thanks for the most helpful response. Somehow I missed that portion of the documentation, even though I do recall looking at it earlier. My guess is that if I can define the right line positions and limit the number to two, I'll be there. Now I have a starting point. Best, Arle On Jun 9,
