time-separator data type

The time-separator type indicates how to display the arrangement between the beats and beat-type values in a time signature. The default value is none. The horizontal, diagonal, and vertical values represent horizontal, diagonal lower-left to upper-right, and vertical lines respectively. For these values, the beats and beat-type values are arranged on either side of the separator line. The none value represents no separator with the beats and beat-type arranged vertically. The adjacent value represents no separator with the beats and beat-type arranged horizontally.
