+of lists. Each list describes one fraction, with the last entry being the
+denominator, while the first entries describe the summands in the
+enumerator. If the time signature consists of just one fraction,
+the list can be given directly, i.e. not as a list containing a single list.
+For example, a time signature of (3+1)/8 + 2/4 would be created as
+@code{\\compoundMeter #'((3 1 8) (2 4))}, and a time signature of (3+2)/8
+as @code{\\compoundMeter #'((3 2 8))} or shorter
+@code{\\compoundMeter #'(3 2 8)}.
