Well, that’s something — thanks!

Then how does the TimeSignature know to have a note glyph on the bottom? Is
there *also* a #'style change involved?

If 2/4. is the value entered, do we have access to the num (2) after the
conversion to 6/8 has happened? If so, I could “reverse engineer” the 2/4. from
(num . denom) = (6 . 8).
Thanks!
