 % Markup to produce a 4/4 time signature that works with smaller
 digits. tsMarkup = \markup {
  \vcenter \override #'(baseline-skip . 2) \number {
    \column { "4" "4" }
  }
 }

 \relative c' {
    \clef G
    \key g \major
 % 4/4 statt C
   \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil =
      #ly:text-interface::print
   \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-size = #-2
    \time 4/4
    \partial 8     d'8 | % Auftakt

Hello Mats, 

your solution ist really great, thank you very much. 
Of course with font-size -1 (I put -2 just to show better the difference).
(My opinion: That should be default layout.)

Yours
