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.
- Numerator styles
-
The numerator is always one or more numbers, and can either show the total number of beats in the bar as a single number, or show how the total duration of the bar is subdivided into beat groups.
- Denominator styles
-
The denominator can appear as a number, as a note indicating the equivalent duration, or not appear at all.
- Open meter styles
-
Open time signatures can be shown as an X, Penderecki’s symbol, or be hidden with no symbol. Open time signatures with no symbol are indicated by signposts.
- Interchangeable time signature separator styles
-
Interchangeable time signatures can have different separator styles. You can specify the separator style when inputting interchangeable time signatures using the popover and for individual interchangeable time signatures after they have been input.
