Project-wide spacing gaps for time signatures

You can change the minimum gaps between objects, including time signatures, on the Spacing Gaps page in Engraving Options.

You can open Engraving Options in any of the following ways:

  • Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E in any mode.

  • Choose Engrave > Engraving Options in Engrave mode.

The following minimum values relate to time signatures:

  • Gap after barline before clef, key or time signature

  • Gap after key signature

  • Gap after mid-system time signature

Other values may have an effect on the position of time signatures, however, they also affect other objects.
