3. Select the Pencil Tool.
When the Pencil tool is selected, a Time Signature drop-down list appears in the Inspector. Select the desired time
signature from the drop-down list.
D If you select “Other” the Edit Time Signature dialog appears where you can specify another time signature.
The available signatures are: 1/2-16/2, 1/4-16/4, 1/8-16/8 and 1/16-16/16. The Time Signature display in the
dialog can be edited according to the descriptions in “Transport Panel segment displays”.
4. Draw a clip over the area on the Time Signature lane in the Transport track where you want the time signature
to change.
The time signature will change for the duration of the clip.
5. Continue using the same general method wherever you want the time signature to change in your song.
D You can change the time signature for the automation clip at any time by simply double-clicking the clip with
the Selection (Arrow) Tool and changing the value on the pop-up that appears. Alternatively, select the clip and
then click the small triangle in the clip to bring up the time signature pop-up.
There is no need to switch to Edit Mode unless you wish to change the time signature’s Static Value.
Moving, resizing and duplicating time signature automation
clips
D You can move, resize and duplicate time signature automation clips in the same way as with note or automa-
tion clips.
However, it is recommended that Snap is activated (and in most cases set to “Bar”) when you do this.
D You can also move or duplicate clips using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands on the Edit menu or context
menu.
Again, the same rules apply as for cutting, copying and pasting note and parameter automation clips.
