74 Arrangement View
To name a locator, select it by clicking its triangular marker, and choose the Rename Edit menu
command (or use the [CTRL][R](PC) / [CMD][R](Mac) shortcut). You can also enter your own info
text (page 7) for a locator via the Edit Info Text command in the Edit menu or in the locator’s
[right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu. Locators can be removed with your com-
puter’s [Backspae] or [Delete] key , the Create menu, or the Delete Locator button.
Note that the locator [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu offers a quick way of
looping playback (page 76) between two locators with its Loop To Next Locator command.
The locator [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu’s Set Song Start Time Here com-
mand can be used to overrule the default “play starts at selection“ rule: when this command is
checked, play starts at the locator.
6.4 Time Signature Changes
Time Signature Changes.
Live’s time signature can be changed at any point in the Arrangement by using time signature
markers. These can be added at the insert marker position via the Create menu, or anywhere
below the beat-time ruler using the [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu. Time
signature markers appear just below the beat time ruler, but this marker area is hidden if a set
contains no meter changes, freeing up additional space at the top of the Arrangement.
In many ways, time signature markers look and function like locators; they can be moved with
the mouse or with your computer keyboard’s arrow keys, and their value can be changed using
the Edit menu’s Edit Value command (or with the [CTRL][R](PC) / [CMD][R](Mac) shortcut). They
can be also be deleted using the [Backspace] or [Delete] key, or via delete commands in the Edit
and Create menus.
The time signature marker [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu offers a number of
features, including a Delete All Time Signature Changes command and options to loop or select
the area up to the next time signature marker.
