Re: TimeSignature Markups / Tuplet formatting...

[Mats Bengtsson]

I hope you know that there is an example in the manual in
Section "8.4.1 Polymetric notation". Anyway, that example
has the same problem, which however can be solved by setting
the baseline-skip property:

% create 2/4 + 5/8
tsMarkup =\markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 0)
  \number {
    \column { "2" "4" }
    \musicglyph #"scripts.stopped"
    \bracket \column { "5" "8" }
  }
}

{
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'print-function = #Text_interface::print
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
  \time 3/2
  c'2 \bar ":" c'4 c'4.
}

I will update the manual correspondingly. I hope you have also figured
out an answer to your previous question on time signatures.
