Re: Compound time signature

Is this what you're after?

\version "2.13.62"

#(define ((compound-time one two numa numb) grob)
    (grob-interpret-markup grob
        (markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number
        (#:line ((#:column (one numa))
            (#:column (two numb)))))))

\relative c' {
    \time 6/8
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(compound-time "3" "6" 
"4" "8")
    c4 c c |
    c8 c c c c c |
}
