Re: Implementing denominator style for time signature

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'm not sure about what you mean by "denominator style". Is it that
you typeset the time signature as (sorry for the bad ASCII graphics)?

In that case (or most other layouts), I think it's overkill to write
new C++ code. Take a look at the example file
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#time-signature-double.ly
which shows one example of how to build your own time signature layout
using the standard markup feature of LilyPond (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-markup.html 
).

For example, the layout I sketched above can be produced by
modifying the time-signature-double.ly example to

tsMarkup = \markup {\column < \number 3 \small \note #2 #0 #0.7 > }
