Time Signature Properties

Time signature properties include:

• Beats Per Measure

  This is the value used for the top half of the time signature. This is generally the number of beats per measure. If you want to use common or cut time, this should be set in the drop-down box below these fields.

• Value of Beat

  This is the value used for the lower half of the time signature. This is generally the value of the beat. If you want to use common or cut time, this should be set in the drop-down box below these fields.

• Style

  For standard time signatures, leave this value set to Standard. If you need common or cut time, then set the value to Common time or Alla Breve respectively.
