Time Signatures
Time signatures inserted in the Score Editor globally affect all MIDI regions, on all
display levels. Time signature changes only affect the display, however, not playback.
Apart from 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, and the alternative display options for 4/4 and 2/2, there
are also Part box objects for freely-definable time signatures (A/B), and compound time
signatures (A+B/C). When you insert one of these, the Time Signature dialog box opens,
allowing you to set the desired time signature. For more information see “Working With
Time and Key Signatures” on page 723.
Repeat Signs and Bar Lines
These objects can be inserted at any visible bar position (at the position of any
graphically displayed note or rest). Usually, however, these objects are inserted at the
beginning or end of bars.
In this situation, they replace the regular bar line (except first and second ending
symbols). They are global symbols, and are displayed in all staffs, on all display levels.
Note: These symbols are purely visual, and have no impact on MIDI playback.
Details on editing these symbols is found in “Editing Repeat Signs and Bar Lines” on
page 709.
