Re: Time signature in French baroque music

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you replace the function by
#(define (compound-time-2m one two three four)
(markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number
 (#:line ((#:column (one two)) #:vcenter "+" (#:column (three four))))))

it seems to work well for both staff sizes.
