The @code{\time} command sets the properties
-@code{timeSignatureFraction}, @code{beatLength}, and
-@code{measureLength} in the @code{Timing} context, which is
+@code{timeSignatureFraction}, @code{beatLength}, @code{beatGrouping}
+and @code{measureLength} in the @code{Timing} context, which is
normally aliased to @code{Score}. Changing the value of
@code{timeSignatureFraction} causes the new time signature symbol
-to be printed without changing the other properties:
