Comment #13 on issue 1776 by address@hidden: Doc: NR - Polymetric Notation \compoundMeter isn't documented
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1776

Another short explanation is directly in the scheme code as the documentation for the \compoundMeter function:

Create compound time signatures. The argument is a Scheme list of
lists. Each list describes one fraction, with the last entry being the
denominator, while the first entries describe the summands in the
enumerator. If the time signature consists of just one fraction,
the list can be given directly, i.e. not as a list containing a single list.
For example, a time signature of (3+1)/8 + 2/4 would be created as
@code{\\compoundMeter #'((3 1 8) (2 4))}, and a time signature of (3+2)/8
as @code{\\compoundMeter #'((3 2 8))} or shorter
@code{\\compoundMeter #'(3 2 8)}.
