Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again

[Hajo Baess]

This time  w i t h   screenshot attached - sorry about that... Delete
the previous one ;-)

Unfortunately this does not work - because I have tried exactly this
one, and there is no time signature. I attach a screenshot of the
passage. My piece is in 3/4, and in the top part in bar 185, I have to
do some rhythmical scaling, whereas the other parts continue in 3/4. I
could as well have written triplets, of course, to achieve the same
musical result, but I wanted to keep the original 'flavor'.
I bar 199, for the top part, I want to revert to the original 3/4, but
\time 3/4 does not do the trick. It even does not show a time signature
which is different from the previous one, although LilyPond typesets it
ok. As you will notice, I have set a (nonsensical) 6/4 signature there
in all the parts for testing purposes.
There must be some other mechanism involved which prevents the time
signature from being indicated, but which one?

Here's the top part code for the passage in the screenshot:

Could it have something to do with the scaling applied before?
