How to enter a time signature

You can set a time signature for your complete score by setting it from the Score dialog, available under the Display menu. Setting the time signature here will wipe out any time signature changes made earlier on a bar-by-bar basis. The time signature you set affects all tracks in your score.

Set a new time signature starting at the current bar by setting it from the Bar dialog, available under the Display menu. The time signature you set affects all tracks in your score.
