Hi Thomas,

I downloaded the code you referred to in your answer above, and it works 
like a charm, thanks!
But there are still a few changes that would be nice to have in it. Or, 
also quite possible, they are already there, but I don't know how to use it.

If I want for example a 3/4 bar, I write

  \time ##f 3/4

and the result is fine. But when issuing this in a 4-part vocal piece, I 
have to repeat that for every voice, and the 3/4 symbol is printed above 
each staff. Repeating the entry is of course no problem, but the fact 
that the result is printed above each staff gives a somewhat messy output.

I'm for now not able to alter the code myself, but is it possible to 
avoid this effect?

regards, Jogchum
