i for one would be very happy if lilypond offered at least the option to
display a time signature only when it differs from the previous measure.

i'm trying to generate lilypond scores algorithmically, and the time
signature of each measure is part of the internal representation i'm
using. it would make my life much easier if lilypond just ignored
redundant time signatures. 

for my part, it would be great if the user could choose between the two
behaviors.


best,
