Changing the tuplet number
By default, only the numerator of the tuplet number is printed over the tuplet bracket, i.e., the
denominator of the argument to the \times command. Alternatively, num:den of the tuplet
number may be printed, or the tuplet number may be suppressed altogether.
\relative c'' {
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\override TupletNumber #'text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
\override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f
\times 2/3 { c8 c c }
}

Changing time signatures inside a polymetric section using
\scaleDurations
The measureLength property, together with measurePosition, determines when a bar line is
needed. However, when using \scaleDurations, the scaling of durations makes it difficult
to change time signatures. In this case, measureLength should be set manually, using the
ly:make-moment callback. The second argument must be the same as the second argument of
\scaleDurations.
