Now, however, this notation convention has appeared again in another piece
by a different composer.  An example can bee seen here:

As a first step, you can do the following to make quarter+16th to
appear as plain quarter notes. Then, possibly add a cosmethic 'x' to
it is easier from here.

\relative c' {
	\time 15/16
	
	c4~c16
	c4~c16
	c4~c16
	
	c4*5/4
	c4*5/4
	c4*5/4 |
  

My favorite tweak helps here, overriding the stencil with text interface.

\relative c' {
    \time 15/16
   
    c4~c16
    c4~c16
    c4~c16

\override Dots #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print   
\override Dots #'text = \markup { "×" }
\override Dots #'extra-offset = #'(0.2 . -1)

    c4.*5/6
    c4.*5/6
    c4.*5/6 |
}

Now that's cool!  Thanks!  Won't necessarily need it any time soon but it's a neat thing to have in my pocket.
