Here a hack using the font lcirclew10:
=======================================
1 1 3 2 -3 2 0 0
1 1 20 0
t
.\
w4i
\\font\halfc=lcirclew10\
\\def\meterfracS#1#2{\
\\kern\internote\raise1.5\internote\rlap{\halfc\char10}\
\\raise6.2\internote\hbox{\halfc\char11}\kern-1.5mm\
\\raise4.2\internote\rlap{\meterfont3}\raise.2\internote\hbox{\meterfont4}}\
\\def\meterN#1{\
\\kern\internote\raise4.1\internote\hbox{\halfc\char106}\
\\kern-1.5mm\
\\raise4.2\internote\rlap{\meterfont3}\raise.2\internote\hbox{\meterfont1}}\

=======================================
Of course if you don't have the font lcirclew10 you'll need to get it,
either from CTAN or let me know and I'll try to figure out which files I
need to send.
By redefining the macro \meterfracS, the half-circle + 3/4 is hardwired to
replace the meter you get whenever mtrnmp (the numerator of the printed
meter) is input as negative. Similarly, by redefining \meterN, the circle +
3/1 is hardwired to replace the meter you get when whenever mtrnump is 0 and
mtrdenp is 1,2,3, or 4. Of course, after these redefinitions, the original
use of these macros is destroyed, so you won't be able to get a normal
fraction with a vertical slash through it or a single number as the meter.
If you don't like the sizes or positions, or if you want to use a different
musicsize besides 20, you'll just have to fiddle with redefinitions and
possibly the font specification, changing the character numbers or the font
magnification to get larger or smaller semicircles or circles, and adjusting
positions as necessary. This is a trial-and-error process, which is exactly
what I did in coming up with these in the first place, especially to get the
two quarter-circle characters to line up.
