Simple Type: time-symbol

Description

The time-symbol type indicates how to display a time signature. The normal value is the usual fractional display, and is the implied symbol type if none is specified. Other options are the common and cut time symbols, as well as a single number with an implied denominator. The note symbol indicates that the beat-type should be represented with the corresponding downstem note rather than a number. The dotted-note symbol indicates that the beat-type should be represented with a dotted downstem note that corresponds to three times the beat-type value, and a numerator that is one third the beats value.
