Re: time signature with note in denominator

[eduardo . susan]

Hello Jos, this code compiled right in version 2.8.0 (based on the example 
of Polymetric Notation). 

%%%% SNIPPET 
tsMarkup =\markup { 
  \number    { \column  { "4" { \note #"2" #0.75 }  } 

  } 

} 

{ 
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print 
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup 
  \time 4/2 
  c'2  c'4 c'4 
} 

%%%% END SNIPPET 

I guess for you to use an external font, like Maestro (or you may find other 
that would work too), you can do it like this: 

%%%% SNIPPET 

tsMarkup =\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Maestro") 
    { \column  { "4" "H" }  } 

  } 



{ 
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print 
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup 
  \time 4/2 
  c'2  c'4 c'4 
} 

%%%% END SNIPPET 

I guees you'll figure out that "H" is the corresponding key stroke for the 
symbol. 

Regards, 

Eduardo
