Changing the position of time signatures on bracketed groups

By default, time signatures shown once per bracket are centered on each bracketed group. You can change their vertical position on bracketed groups for all layouts project-wide; for example, it is common in film scores to show the top of large time signatures aligned with the top of each bracketed group.

Procedure

1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
2. In the category list, click Time Signatures.
3. In the Time Signatures Centered on Brackets section, choose one of the following options for Vertical alignment relative to bracket:

   • Top

   • Middle

4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The vertical alignment of large time signatures relative to bracketed groups is changed in all layouts project-wide.
