+
+You can have multiple time signatures occuring at the same time.
+
+This is done by moving the timing engraver to staff context. Also,
+Staff should be given the alias @code{Timing} to make @code{\time}
+command work correctly. Barlines distort the regular spacing, though.
+
+If the note durations do not line up, \times can be used to scale up a
+staff. The second staff has a 3/4 signature with a 3/5 tuplet over all
+of the notes. Switching off the tuplet bracket, and manually printing
+a 10/8 sign gives the desired effect.
