It is common to only write out what is necessary to avoid confusion,
which then varies with context. For example, an Ispaychi
(Испайчи) decomposes as 3+2+3+2+3, but in my score its is
written as
8 + 5
16 16
probably to distinguish not from an Eleno Mome that may be written in
13
16
Or at least in the 1970s - the latter from seem to not be used,
replaced by a
7
8
So the former could be written in
13
16
too, regardless of the Eleno Mome meter. The scores of the region
that I have, aimed for performance, do not use "+", but just sums it
up. The "+" appears in musicological texts and schools.
There are different ways to subbeam, too, depending if one wants the
subaccents be indicated.
This rachenitsa snip is typeset as (2+2)+(2+1), which is not wrong,
but (2+2)+3 would be more normal - I could not get Lilypond to make
the 2+1 into a 3.
This gankino horo snip is typeset as (2+2)+(2+1)+(2+2), again not
wrong, but scores use the styles 4+3+4 or (2+2)+3+(2+2). (Hitting the
same 2+1 problem.)

I'm reasonably happy with my solution to compound times. I'm
still wondering about the printing -- should I leave it as
3 + 3 + 2
8 8 8
or change it to something like
8 (3+3+2)
8
Anyway, that's a relatively minor issue. The attached file prints
compound time signatures and sets up automatic beaming.
