It looks to me (from running 1.5.58 on time.ly) that this
still doesn't work.  This means that 1.5 is not feature complete from
my point of view.  

Given the 1-style works, I'm not saying the old time signatures are an
*important* feature for what I do, but it is a feature I was using in
1.4, and would expect to be able to use in 1.5.  Especially since
switching between 1.4 and 1.5 is a non-trivial task.  

I also ran 1.5.58 on ancient-font.ly, and there are some things that
look pretty wierd to me.  Specifically, I would guess that the
squiggles in the second staff of the third system should line up
differently with the stems.
