I'm trying to set a John Dowland piece (Come Ye Heavy States of Night)
which has a single initial time signature of "4/2 2/2" followed by
measures that are either 4 half-note beats or 2 half-note beats long,
in quasi-random fashion.
It's clear that if I can get that time signature printed, I can set
the piece by appropriate use of \set Timing.measureLength.
Can anyone point me to a way to do that?
Thanks
You question comes at the right time :-)

Particularly you can go to the link to the openLilyLib snippets repo at
