You can combine aggregate time signatures with the same denominator into a single time signature, while retaining dashed barlines for meter divisions. For example, to show a 4/8+2/8+7/8 aggregate time signature as 13/8.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
-
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
Procedure
- Select the aggregate time signatures that you want to combine. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
- In the Properties panel, activate Combine compatible aggregates in the Time Signatures group.
- Activate the corresponding checkbox.
Result
The selected aggregate time signatures are combined into a single time signature, provided that all denominators in each aggregate time signature are the same.
The combined numerator indicates the total number of denominator beats in each bar.
Tip
You can combine all aggregate time signatures with the same denominator project-wide by default in
