There is limited support for mensuration signs (which are similar to, but
not exactly the same as time signatures). The glyphs are hard-wired to
particular time fractions. In other words, to get a particular mensuration
sign with the \time n/m
command, n
and m
have to be
chosen according to the following table
Use the style
property of grob TimeSignature
to select ancient time signatures. Supported styles are
neomensural
and mensural
. The above table uses the
neomensural
style. The following examples show the
differences in style:
Notation Reference: Time signature, gives a general introduction to the use of time signatures.
Ratios of note durations do not change with the time signature. For example, the ratio of 1 breve = 3 semibreves (tempus perfectum) must be made by hand, by setting
breveTP = #(ly:make-duration -1 0 3 2) ... { c\breveTP f1 }
This sets breveTP
to 3/2 times 2 = 3 times a whole note.
The mensural68alt
and neomensural68alt
symbols
(alternate symbols for 6/8) are not addressable with \time
.
Use \markup {\musicglyph #"timesig.mensural68alt" }
instead.
