Re: time signature in ancient notation

[Juergen Reuter]

Yes, this looks better.  Now, that we have "barAlways = ##t", we can also 
drop these "dMinima" etc. definitions.  I also set the \version to 2.8.0 
(just looks nicer in the source).  Result is attached.  I think it's still 
not perfect, but much better than what is currently in the docu.

Graham, what do you think, could we put attached template into the docu 
instead of that currently in 3.7.2?  By the way, we have now "3.5.1 
Transcription of mensural music" and "3.7.2 Gregorian transcription 
template".  Maybe, these should be put together into a single section (and 
maybe the two titles harmonized)?

Greetings,
Juergen
