Hi Ben,

How curious - isn't this solved by the thread I just created today on essentially the same topic?

Shifting time signatures must be in the wind!

Does anyone know a snippet or function that allows this? Is it fairly easy to implement?

Oh wow - must be!

I was hoping to get my signatures to overlap multiple instruments vs. just large and filling one staff. However both options are great to have available for sure.
I attached examples showing both - which did you solve?

I didn't know how to explicitly tell LilyPond to displace my time signatures to, for example:

*Overlap large enough to snap to both Flute Staves
*Overlap large enough to snap to Trumpet / Trombone
*Overlap large enough to snap to Chimes / Marimba
*Overlap large enough to snap to Cello / Basses

I see it being a little easier to make large time signatures offset in the score so they 'cover' one instrument staff - that is very helpful, but I am lost in making them large enough and cover 2+ instruments in the score.

Thanks for any help :)
