Re: Displaying 4/2 as cut common

[Adam M. Griggs]

I borrowed this from Allen Garvin on IMSLP.

fourTwoCutTime = {
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = \markup \musicglyph #"timesig.C22"
\time 4/2
}

Hi all,

Just a quick question: is there any way to display a 4/2 time signature as cut common? I've tried 4/2, 8/4 and 2/1, but none of them seem to default to cut common. 

I've had a look around, but there doesn't seem to be a way for me to 'force' this behaviour... is there a way? Or do I need to set the time signature normally, and then just tell Lilypond to print a different glyph? If so, how do I do that?

I would appreciate any help!

Regards,

Brent.
