Dear all,
I'm trying to move time signatures to print over bar lines for a modern
piece, to allow for a proportional (or almost proportional) note spacing
despite several time changes.
The usual approach is to place them over the staff, like here:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=272
However, the full piece has a whole bunch of staves, so vertical space
is at a premium; for each staff, the signatures do not fit, and I feel
that a single time signature over the score is not enough.
Hence, I decided to break the bar line stencil into two short slices,
and squeeze the time signature in between.
I'm almost there. The missing piece is automatic adjustment of time
signatures at the beginning of a system. If realignTimeSignatures in the
attached example is delayed by one measure, the default placement of the
first time signature is perfect - as usual. However, I could not find a
way to do the same for the time signature in the fourth system (other
than manually reverting the overrides).
I achieve either
1) a nice placement of the in-line signature (with
\realignTimeSignatures), but have to shift the begin-of-line ones by
some amount and cannot make enough space for them, xor
2) the default position for the begin-of-line signatures (with
\realignTimeSignaturesII), but then I cannot position barlines and time
signatures on top of each other.
Can anyone enlighten me here?
Bonus points for someone who can come up with a proper centered
alignment of the "4" in the double bar line at the /end/ of the third
system...
Thanks in advance,
Alexander
