What is the best way to change the font and size of a time signature? For the contemporary scores that I am setting, the traditional engraved old-fashioned face for time signatures just looks out of place, and, like some other engravers, I am attempting to match a very idiosyncratic handwritten style in the manuscript.

I have:

  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = \markup {  \abs-fontsize #14.5 \bold \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5) \center-column { \line { 16 } \line { 4 } } }

This works, but seems terribly clumsy. Is there a more elegant way?

The solution is to wrap your markup in some sort of function.

You could do something like this:

 Oh, by the way, I wrote this with 2.17.17 installed.  Can't say off the top of my head whether adaptations would be necessary with other versions.  Please always include the version you're running, along with a complete example.

Best,
David
