How do you want them notated? Does your piece have a regular pattern
where every second bar is 3/8 and every second is 2/4 or do they change
randomly?
If there is no regular pattern, I as a musician would very much
appreciate to have all changes marked with a new time signature.
However, you can always just insert barlines at whatever position
using \bar "|".

To avoid that LilyPond inserts any extra bar lines where it thinks they
should be according to the underlying official \tempo directive, you
could set
\property Score.defaultBarType = #"empty"
or use \cadenzaOn or alternatively make sure that the bar length given
by \time is at least as long as the longest bar in the piece and include
bar checks at every \bar "|". This together with
\property Score.barCheckSynchronize = ##t
at the beginning of the piece will make LilyPond reset the bar length
counting at every |.

Hello.

Is it possible to have a composed time signature?
In
  file:///usr/share/doc/lilypond/html/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html
it is said that it can be faked but in the example, 6/4+[3/2], the 2 parts of
the bar have the same length, which can be faked as 2 bars.
But what about asymmetric signatures, e.g. 3/8+[2/4] ?

[I'm (still) using version 2.1.0 because there are no more recent official Debian upgrades.]

Best regards,
Gilles
