Double-click on the time signature symbol at the beginning of the staff.
A dialog opens.
If the project is in 4/4 or 2/2, you can select common time/cut time directly by clicking one of the two symbols on the right.
This sets the time signature to 4/4 or 2/2, respectively and also inserts a common/cut time symbol on the staff.
If the project is in any other time, set the numerator and denominator above and below the line, respectively.
The numerator can consist of several numbers for composite time signatures. However, if the project is in a simple time signature you only need to fill in the first number above the line. The more advanced options are described below.
Click OK or press Return.
Important
All tracks share the time signature! In other words, when you set the time signature, you do this for all tracks in the project.
If you need to enter half a bar somewhere, you must make a time signature change from 4/4 to 2/4 and back again, for example.
