\version "2.13.29"

#(define ((custom-time-signature one two three four five six) grob)
  (grob-interpret-markup grob
    (markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number
      (#:line ((#:column (one two))
                    (#:column (three four))
                    (#:column (five six)))))))

alternatingTS = \relative c' {
  \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil =
    #(custom-time-signature "3" "4" "5" "8" "2" "4")
  \time 3/4 c8 c c c c c |
  \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
  \time 5/8 c8 c c c c |
  \time 2/4 c8 c c c |
  \time 5/8 c8 c c c c |
  \time 3/4 c8 c c c c c |
}

\score { \alternatingTS }

Hope this helps!
