By default, LilyPond assumes that the music is normal, that is, that the
time signature is the same in all staves and that the duration of one
beat is the same in all staves. To change that, you have to tell
LilyPond to write separate time signatures for each stave and the
example you refer to shows how to do that. Also, LilyPond has to know if
a specific note in one stave should be typeset to the left or to the
right or below a certain note in the other stave (i.e. if it should be
played before, after or simultaneously). Therefore, LilyPond has to know
the mathematical relation between the beats in the different staves
(which is done using \scaleDurations).
OK - that problem I even didn't see, because in my case, there has a quarter
note in every voice the same duration, only in one voice, there are two bars
with three quarter notes and in the other there are three bars with two quarter
notes.
And it concerns really only these 2/3 bars in the whole piece.
I'll try to manage it overriding some time-Signatures and setting some bars
manually... That seems to be easier than the example (I even don't understand).
