Description

### Enhancement Summary
Currently LMMS allows to change time sig during song with Automation but effect is displayed only while song plays but not while user edits it.

#### Justification
e.g. user wants to make a cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" or a cover of some Dream Theater song.

#### Mockup
If time sig changes during song then Piano Roll could look somehow like this:

Sorry for my bad English.

Research direction

Start by examining the Piano Roll's handling of time-signature automation and how the current time signature is displayed during playback. Use the linked mockup as the visual reference. Done means time-signature changes are visibly reflected in the Piano Roll while the user edits the song, not only during playback.
