    • Press Cmd-Shift-L.

    • In the toolbar, click Application Menu Application Menu button and choose Layout Options.

  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to change the design of time signatures.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog. You can select other layouts by using the selection options in the action bar or by clicking and dragging across multiple layouts.
