Changing the separator style of interchangeable time signatures

You can change the separator shown in interchangeable time signatures individually, independently of your project-wide setting.

Procedure

  1. Select the interchangeable time signatures whose separator you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
    Note

    In the Properties panel, Separator in the Time Signatures group is automatically activated for interchangeable time signatures.

  2. Select one of the following options from the Separator menu:

    • Parentheses

    • Brackets

    • Equals sign

    • Slash

    • Space

    • Hyphen

Result

The separator style of the selected interchangeable time signatures is changed.

Note

  • You can change the default separator of all interchangeable time signatures project-wide on the Time Signatures page in Engrave > Engraving Options.

  • Although they might look similar to interchangeable time signatures, aggregate time signatures behave differently. Aggregate time signatures are separated by a + sign, whereas interchangeable time signatures can be shown with six different separators but not a + sign.

    Therefore, although you can activate Separator and choose from the available options for aggregate time signatures, the property only affects the appearance of interchangeable time signature separators.
