7 The different styles for time signatures are shown in this file.
15 two examples what might be expected. -- jr
17 TODO: The former "old6/8alt" is currently not addressable. This will
18 be fixed by introducing an additional style property that switches
19 between various mensural diminution styles. -- jr
21 TODO: Style "1xxx" really should be a special case of style
22 "numbered". In other words, style "1xxx" should be removed, and a new
23 property "denominator-style" should be introduced, with values
24 "numbered" (which should be equivalent to the current "numbered"
25 style), "none" (which should be equivalent to the current "1xxx"
26 style), and "notehead" (which should place a proper notehead to the
27 right side of the nominator). -- jr
32 IMPORTANT NOTE: The current selection scheme for time signature
33 symbols is not flexible enough for future extensions such as various
34 flavours of early mensural notation or complex signatures as in
35 contemporary music. Therefore, the semantics of time-signature
36 properties will quite definitely change, and maybe the syntax of the
37 \time request will possibly be extended. See the input file for TODOs.
