The **Meter** determines the musical speed of the passage we are
|
||||
composing, as measured in **Beats Per Minute**.
|
||||
The _meter_, or _time signature_, determines the musical speed of the passage we
|
||||
are composing and is measured in _beats per bars_.
|
||||
|
||||
If we are composing something rhythmic, it will also determine the lengths of the
|
||||
sound samples we use to some extent. So it is important to be able to
|
||||
set up the Meter before we continue.

It is possible to set a **Meter** and **Tempo** for the entire Ardour
|
||||
session, as well as to change them at different points in the same
|
||||
session.
|
||||
There is always at least one marker for both the meter and the tempo in the
|
||||
session, right in the beginning of the timeline. You can change either of the
|
||||
two further in the session. To do that, you need to pick either time or bar and
|
||||
beat on the timeline, right-click on the dedicated timeline lane, choose _New
|
||||
Meter_ or _New Tempo_, and provide a new value in the newly opened dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
To change the Tempo and Meter (time signature) for the entire session, use the corresponding buttons located underneath the secondary clock:
|
||||
{{< figure src="en/ardour7-new-meter.png" alt="New Meter" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
You can also easily change the latest meter or tempo even if you scrolled past
|
||||
the point in time where you can see the marker on the timeline. Simply click on
|
||||
either tempo or TS button right below the secondary clock and provide a new
|
||||
value in the newly opened dialog.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For the **Tempo** (button on the left), choose the number of BPM (**Beats Per Minute**) for your session.
|
||||
For the tempo (button on the left), choose the number of beats per minute (bpm)
|
||||
for your session.
|
||||
|
||||
For the **Meter** (button on the right; the letters "TS" on the button mean "Time Signature"), you can enter new values for the **Beats Per Bar** as well as the **Note Value**. Click "*Apply*" to apply the changes globally to your session.
|
||||
For the _meter_ (button on the right; the letters _TS_ on the button mean
|
||||
_time signature_), you can enter new values for the _beats per bar_ as well as
|
||||
the _note value_.
|
||||
|
||||
If the Meter or Tempo of your session changes later in the song or
|
||||
composition, simply add a new marker by right-clicking in the Meter or
|
||||
Tempo timeline and selecting **New Tempo** or **New Meter** and entering
|
||||
the new Tempo or Meter in the resulting dialog.
