custom compound time signature

[diekunstderfuge]

Hi all,

I'm trying to achieve the compound time signature seen in the image here:

As you can see, it's meant to represent 3 bars of 2/4 grouped together as
one bar. My plan was to write it as one bar of 3/2 and then override the
time signature stencil. 

First, I've used this snippet ( http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=272
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=272 ) to create a "dummy" staff with
only the time signatures. (For some reason, \numericTimeSignature does not
seem to work inside of the TimeSig context. Does anyone know why?)

This snippet ( http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=609
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=609 ) prints only the numerator of the
time signature, which I need to get the "3". I do not know how to combine
this with a compound time signature (I tried the method described in 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Time-signature
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Time-signature
 
to produce a compound time signature, but this did not work for me). 

Controlling beaming behavior, often a concern with compound time signatures,
is not important as the TimeSig staff displays only time signatures.

I am using 2.12.3. Any help would be very gratefully appreciated! Thanks!!
