Re: New ancient time signature?

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you look at the Appendix "The Feta font" in the manual, you will find
symbols called timesig.mensural68alt and timesig.neomensural68alt that
look like what you describe (if I get you right). I couldn't find any easier
way of using these symbols than
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = \markup{\musicglyph 
#"timesig.mensural68alt" }
