Alberto,

I had some success fiddling with this snippet:

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=554

But all I could do was get the time signature to print rather badly. 
The size is a bit off and the alignment is terrible.  I don't know 
whether this would help you or not but I'll copy the code.  Of course 
this doesn't do anything to help manage the individual measures in 
different meters.  Does your original score have meter changes or does 
it just change the number of beats per bar without explicitly changing 
the meter?  Anyway here's a go at the time signature.  You can take it 
from here if you like.  :)

Jon

tsMarkup = \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
          \column { \center-align \number "(2-3)" \number "4"  }
}

\relative c' {
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'default
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
                    (grob-interpret-markup grob tsMarkup))
  \time 3/4
  c d e f
}
