Re: \compoundMeter with a single fraction

In terms of the parser, wouldn't it just entail treating + as a separator
and allowing a list of (fraction | integer)?

Interpreting that data as a time signature I would think isn't
too different from what compoundMeter does already.

Maybe I'm missing some hidden pitfalls.
