Time signature styles
Dorico Elements allows you to show time signatures in a variety of styles. For example, you can show denominators as a number or as a note value.
The numerator is always one or more numbers, and can either show the total number of beats in the bar, or show how the total duration of the bar is subdivided.
The denominator can appear as a number, as a note indicating the equivalent duration, or not appear at all.
If shown as a notehead, the denominator can either show the length of each beat in the bar, or the note duration for the bar. When showing the beat length, the numerator can also be changed. In the example, the numerator 6 in the 6/8 time signature becomes a 2 to reflect the two dotted quarter note beats that make up a 6/8 bar.
