Dear community,
I have a problem with the compoundMeter command.
In the below quoted snippet the compound meter is displayed only in the very high staff, but not in the following one!

\version "2.14.1"
global= { \compoundMeter #'((1 4) (5 16)) s4 s16*5  }
UPstaff = { c' 16 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' d'' }
Downstaff = { c'' b' a' g' f' e' d' c' b }

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff { \context Voice << {\global} {\UPstaff }>> }
    \new Staff { \Downstaff }
  >>
}

You have your meter defined in a variable, but you don't connect it to your music.  If you put it inside the music variables, you'll be fine:

\version "2.14.1"

global= { \compoundMeter #'((1 4) (5 16)) s4 s16*5 }

UPstaff = { \global c' 16 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' d'' }

Downstaff = { \global c'' b' a' g' f' e' d' c' b }

\score {

<<

\new Staff { \UPstaff }

\new Staff { \Downstaff }

>>

}

Cheers,
Colin
