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 \\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit to
change the style permanently. By using \\revert Staff.TimeSignature
#'style, this setting can be reversed. To apply the single-digit style
to only one time signature, use the \\override command and prefix it
with a \\once.
