Time signatures
Time signatures indicate the meter of music, and apply to all bars from where they first appear until a subsequent change of time signature. Meter describes the rhythmic pulse of music, and its division into beats and bars.
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.
Changing the numerator style of time signatures
You can choose whether the numerators of individual time signatures show the total number of beats in each bar, or the subdivision of beats in each bar.
