Re: new Problem with Time-Sig

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Neil,
thanks for Your help, Your code worked.
I don't have any problems with the horizontal position of the
TimeSignatures, but I'm still not happy with the vertical position.
Sometimes (if I have a stretch in the layout), the TimeSignature is
too far away, sometimes it is too close to the staff. Isn't there a
possiblitie to have a "magnetic position" for  TimeSignature's
vertical position?
This would be great!
