Chapter 7 Working With Projects 149
You can set the time signature of the project in the Transport, the Signature List, or the
Signature track. The Transport displays the time signature in the following format:
numerator : bar denominator : division value.
The division value defines the division in all position displays (such as in the event
editors), and forms the grid for various length and placement operations. The division
value 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.
∏ Tip: You can use the Set Next Higher/Lower Division key command to switch to the
next highest or lowest division.
The tempo indicator in the Transport window always relates to quarter notes, even if
eighth notes are chosen as the denominator for the time signature.
To change the time signature, do one of the following:
m Click-hold on either of the Transport time signature values and drag up or down, or
double-click the numbers in the field, and type a new value.
m Click-hold the value in the Signature List and drag up or down, or double-click the
signature value, then type in a new value.
m Open the Signature track, and double-click the value shown. Set the Numerator and
Denominator values (and other settings, if desired).
For more information on time signatures, refer to “Working With Time and Key
Signatures” on page 755.
