Re: polymetric help

Dear Collective Wisdom,

I've almost got it! It was indeed an order of operations issue.
Despite reading the manual, I wasn't clear on this, so I made a
mini-primer:

*****

\version "b.l.a.h"
\layout { blah }
\header { blah }
\new Score {
        \relative c' {
                % << tells the program the staves happen simultaneously
                <<
                        \new Staff { blah }
                        \new Staff { blah }
                        \new Staff { blah }
                        \new Staff { blah }
                        %etc.
                %first I end the simultaneous command
                >>
        %then I end the \relative command
        }
%then I end the \new Score command
}

*****

Then, if you pop into the \layout the code for
different-time-signatures-with-different-barlines-simultaneously from
the documentation:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
}

Then it works. Whew.

cheers,
andrea
