Time Signature and Division

This is where you can see, and set the time signature of the song. The format is:

Bar numerator—Bar denominator—Division

The division defines the third format value in all position displays (such as in the Event

Edit window), and forms the grid for various length and placement operations. The

division is normally set to 1/16 notes, but has a value range of 1/4 to 1/192 note. If the

note value of the division is equal to or greater than the bar denominator, the third

value of the position display is automatically removed.

The Set Next Higher/Lower Format key command can be used to switch to the next

highest or lowest division.

Apart from the features described below, you can also use the Global Signature Track to

edit Time Signatures.

Time Signature Changes

If you alter the bar numerator or denominator in the Transport window, a time

signature is created at the start of the bar occupied by the current song position. This is

shown in the Bar Ruler, to the left of the bar number and in the Global Signature Track,

if visible. A time signature change does not affect the absolute positions of any existing

time signature events that are already inserted.

Note: You can also add time signature changes directly in the Score Editor (see “Time

Signatures” on page 509) by double-clicking on any MIDI Region that spans the

signature change.

To edit time signature changes:

Move the Song Position Line to the target bar, and set the new time signature in the

Transport window. Alternately, you can activate the Signature Track via the View >

Global Tracks menu option, and manually insert them (see “Signature Track” on

page 341).

You can also edit the time signature in the Score Editor.

To erase time signature changes:

Simply change the time signature to match the value of the preceding/previously used

time signature.
