Project-wide engraving options for time signatures

You can find options for the project-wide appearance of time signatures on the Time Signatures page in Engraving Options.

The options on this page allow you to change the appearance of all numerators and denominators project-wide, the appearance of meterless time signatures, and how interchangeable time signatures are separated. You can also change the default gaps in time signatures, for example, the gap between interchangeable time signatures and their separator.

There are musical examples for many options to demonstrate how they affect the appearance of your music.

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.

You can then click Time Signatures in the page list on the left of the dialog.
