+Odd 20th century time signatures (such as \\\"5/8\\\") can often be
+played as compound time signatures (e.g. \\\"3/8 + 2/8\\\"), which
+combine two or more inequal metrics. LilyPond can make such music quite
+easy to read and play, by explicitly printing the compound time
+signatures and adapting the automatic beaming behavior.
