@cindex polymetric music
@cindex scaling durations
It is possible to have multiple time signatures, each one in an own staffs,
at the same time, and have even a proper vertical alignment of the different
durations. This is done, firstly, by setting a common time signature for
each staff but replacing it manually using @code{timeSignatureFraction} to
the desired fraction, and secondly, by scaling the printed durations to
the actual, polymetric durations.
In this example, music with the time signatures of 3/4, 9/8 and 10/8 are
used in parallel. In the second staff, shown durations are multiplied by
2/3, so that 2/3 * 9/8 = 3/4, and in the third staff, shown durations are
multiplied by 3/5, so that 3/5 * 10/8 = 3/4.
