Hello Jos, this code compiled right in version 2.8.0 (based on the example
of Polymetric Notation).
%%%% SNIPPET
tsMarkup =\markup {
\number { \column { "4" { \note #"2" #0.75 } }
}
}
{
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
\time 4/2
c'2 c'4 c'4
}
%%%% END SNIPPET
I guess for you to use an external font, like Maestro (or you may find other
that would work too), you can do it like this:
%%%% SNIPPET
tsMarkup =\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Maestro")
{ \column { "4" "H" } }
}
{
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = #tsMarkup
\time 4/2
c'2 c'4 c'4
}
%%%% END SNIPPET
I guees you'll figure out that "H" is the corresponding key stroke for the
symbol.
Regards,
Eduardo
