This style was added to support breve-length measures with a cut-C symbol (Issue 3286).

The single-C style prints
* the cut-C symbol for any time signature with a 2 in the numerator (2/1 answers the feature request)
* the C symbol for any time signature with a 4 in the numerator
* the numerator alone as a number in other cases (like the single-digit style)

A note of caution: I am working on converting the C++ code for creating time signatures into Scheme, and when I am done, there is a chance that the people who asked for a style that produces a cut C with a breve-length measure will prefer defining their own print function in Scheme.

Therefore, it is probably a good idea to defer the documentation work until that question is answered.  The better thing to do might be to remove the single-C feature instead.

The patch for issue 4204 makes it not too difficult for a user to define an idiosyncratic time signature style.  I have requested feedback on 4204 from the person who originally requested that 4/2 be printed as a single cut-C, but I have not received any.  The feedback from others on the single-C style was lukewarm.  Considering all this, I think it would be best to remove the single-C time signature style and let people rely on defining their own styles with markup.

Issue 4186: Remove the single-C time signature style

Remove the single-C time signature style that was added in commit
[r40b0982cb4f00317c3d50c7f1d4e26fde912f3cd] to address Issue 3286.

The later commit [r145389636e81237d560aba4d04abcb89fa60cd9c] allows
the user to define new time signature styles, which is a more
flexible solution.
