Re: compound time signature with split measure

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always remember - there are two main methods to get a specific 
feature added to LilyPond, either implement it yourself or sponsor 
Han-Wen to do it.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time over the 10
years that LilyPond has existed, that anybody has requested the 6+5/8 
layout. I think it's great that LilyPond is able
to typeset it anyway, using the relatively easy solution I sent earlier 
today. Don't you agree?
