Sometimes, a time signature should not print the whole fraction (e.g.
7/4), but only the numerator (7 in this case). This can be easily done
by using @code{\\override Staff.TimeSignature.style = #'single-digit}
to change the style permanently. By using @code{\\revert
Staff.TimeSignature.style}, this setting can be reversed. To apply
the single-digit style to only one time signature, use the
@code{\\override} command and prefix it with a @code{\\once}.
