Deleting time signatures

You can delete time signatures without affecting the relative rhythmic positions of notes.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select one of the following:
    • The time signatures you want to delete.

    • The signposts of hidden time signatures you want to delete.

  2. Delete the time signatures in any of the following ways:
    • Press Backspace or Delete.

    • Choose Edit > Delete. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The time signatures are deleted from the score. Bars after their previous positions are re-barred according to the previous time signature in the score, up until the next time signature or the end of the flow.

If you delete the only time signature in the flow, your music appears in an open meter, but with all the same rhythmic values.
