Time Signature and Key Signature

The Time and Key Signatures displayed in the Transport are contained in the selected Section as initial events. This means they are located at Bar 1/Beat 1/Clock 0. Metro’s default initial Time Signature is 4/4; the default Key Signature is C Major. These initial events can also be displayed and edited in the upper portion of the Section Event Editor window.

You can place new initial Time and Key Signature events in the Section (or place additional events within any desired range) by using the Time and Key Signature dialog box. To open this dialog box, click the door on the Time and Key Signature setting in the Transport.

Setting a start location at Bar 1 inserts the events at the beginning of the Section as initial events; setting a start location at any other point inserts the events as additional events for the duration of the specified Bar range.
