Re: compound time signature with non duple denominator

[mclaren]

Tobin Chodos mentioned: "That is, the measure is four quarter notes long plus
one triplet eighth note."

Oops. Unless I'm mistaken, 4 + 1 triplet eighth note would be 4 + 1/6, not 4
+ 1/3. My Lilypond code was based on the assumption that you had 4 quarter
notes + 1 triplet quarter note. 

Here's the Lilypond code for 4 + 1/6 meter, i.e., 4 quarter notes + 1
triplet eighth note in every measure.

\version "2.18.2"

\header { 
  tagline = ""  % removed 
} 

#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
%\layout {}

indent=0
<<
  
\new Staff { \clef "treble"
             \relative c''
               \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f 
  \time 13/8
% We need this time signature to get the beat
% structure, but this time signature won't print.
% Now we insert the time sig that does print. 

% This is the time signature that will print

 \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print 
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.text = 
  \markup \override #'(baseline-skip . 0) \center-column \number { 
    \concat { "4 + 1" } 
      \hspace #-0.1 
      \override #'(offset . -32) 
      \override #'(thickness . 1.6) 
       "6"}


\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1265/780)
% This sets the barline locations. I had to play around with this
% make-moment value to get the barlines to place properly. AFAICT
% this make-moment vlaue is a by-guess-and-by-God "magic" value
% that has to be fiddled with by trial and error to get it right.
