Re: elegant compound time signatures

[Graham Percival]

I managed to get this working without individual tweaks.  It's
messy, but once it's all set up, you can write any number of bars
and get the 2_2, 3, 4  beaming.  If you want the final 4 to be a
2_2 as well, it should be obvious how to make that happen.

Just add a \repeat unfold around the second voice; basically,
treat it like the "global" voice that many people use for
rehearsal marks and the like.

Cheers,
