Hi Ben! Yes, that would be perfect. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you!

Yes, I've seen that and it's certainly a possibility, but I'm hoping to achieve something like this.

Hello,

Hi Ignacio,

I use this approach sometimes when I need that style choice:

noTimeSig = { \omit TimeSignature }
largeTimeSig = {
   \numericTimeSignature
   \override Staff.TimeSignature.font-size = 9
}

\new StaffGroup <<
   \new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 25 d''4
   }
   \new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 24 d''4
     \once\override Staff.TimeSignature.extra-offset = #'(0 . 4)
     d''4

   }
   \new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 25 d''4
   }
   \new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 25 d''4
   }
   \new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 25 d''4
   }
   \new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 12 d''4
     \once\override Staff.TimeSignature.extra-offset = #'(0 . -4)
     \time 3/2
     \repeat unfold 12 d''4
     \time 4/4
     d''4
   }
   \new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
     \repeat unfold 25 d''4
   }
