[JW Lua] Composite Time Signatures

[Jacob Winkler]

Just being able to actually set up the time signature for a measure without any other manipulations can be a huge timesaver. We have a page or three on JetStream dedicated to time signatures, and as we were working on it I was thinking it wouldn't be all that useful... And then I had a copying gig where that page alone probably saved me 10 minutes of work.

I have a script where you can type in a time signature pattern and it will restructure the whole piece. So you could highlight everything, call that up and enter something '4/4,3/4,2/4' and it would set up a repeating pattern of 4/4 followed by 3/4 followed by 2/4.... But of course it can't handle any complex meters even as simple as 5/8 currently!

Thanks Robert!

I am beginning to try to hook up (more complete) support for composite time
signatures to RGP Lua. This turns out to be a complicated issues, which is
no doubt why Jari never did it.

My question for this group is, what kinds of use-cases are you considering
for it?

Thanks,
Robert
