+Alternatively, @code{\time} can be used to both
set the time signature and establish the beat structure.
-@code{set-time-signature}, takes three arguments: the
-number of beats, the beat length, and the internal grouping of beats in
-the measure. @code{\time} and @code{set-time-signature} both apply
-to the @code{Timing} context, so they will not reset values of
-@code{beatStructure} or @code{baseMoment} that are set in
-other lower-level contexts, such as @code{Voice}.
+For this, you specify the internal grouping of beats in a measure
+as a list of numbers (in Scheme syntax) before the time signature.

+@code{\time} applies to the @code{Timing} context, so it will not

If the @code{Measure_grouping_engraver} is included
in one of the display contexts, measure grouping signs will be
