Re: How to deal with Time Signatures horizontal alignment?

Yeah, I've never been that lucky either...  =)

Oh, you actually WANT them on the barline... to my eye, that doesn't  
look so good.

To solve *that* problem, simply change the line to
                \override TimeSignature #'extra-offset = #'(-2 . 7)
and all the TS's will be over the bar line.

As for your other (main) problem... Search the list archives for  
TimeSig staff threads -- there were lots of them a few months (and  
years) ago, and there were lots of solutions (including some by me)  
that address the issue (but are too complex to put here off the top  
of my head). If I have a little more time in the near future, I'll  
put together some sample workarounds for you -- no promises!  =)

Best wishes,
Kieren.
