Double time signatures are not supported explicitly, but they can
be faked. In the next example, the markup for the time signature
is created with a markup text. This markup text is inserted in
signature. The latter is done with @code{\compressMusic}, which
is used in a similar way to @code{\times}, but does not create
a tuplet bracket. The syntax is

@funindex \compressMusic

The property @code{subdivideBeams} can be set in order to
subdivide all 16th or shorter beams. When set, multiple beams
will be sub-divided at beat positions, defined by the current
@ref{Time administration}.

Line breaks are normally forbidden when beams cross bar lines.
This behavior can be changed by setting the @code{breakable}
