+@strong{Staves with different time signatures, equal measure lengths}
+
+This notation can be created by setting a common time signature
+for each staff but replacing the symbol manually by setting
+@code{timeSignatureFraction} to the desired fraction and scaling
+the printed durations in each staff to the common time
+signature. This done with @code{\scaleDurations}, which
+is used in a similar way to @code{\times}, but does not create
+a tuplet bracket, see @ref{Scaling durations}.
+
+In this example, music with the time signatures of 3/4, 9/8, and
+10/8 are used in parallel. In the second staff, shown durations
+are multiplied by 2/3, as 2/3 * 9/8 = 3/4, and in the third
+staff, shown durations are multiplied by 3/5, as 3/5 * 10/8 = 3/4.

+Each staff can be given its own independent time signature by
+moving the @code{Timing_translator} to the @code{Staff} context.
