This second suggestion does the trick: no need to repeat the code for 
each staff, and it it printed only above the upper (soprano, in this 
case) staff. Thanks a lot!

I had figured that out already, thanks. Orff, and also Daan Manneke in 
his "Psaume 121" print the time signatures above the staff,  Manneke 
printing only the numerator, not the quarter note as denominator.
