The Time Signature ruler allows changing the time signature within one
|
||
|
|
session. In the example below, the session starts with a time signature of
|
||
|
|
4/4, then switches to 3/4 at bar 5, then to 6/8 at bar 13. The division of the
|
||
|
|
ruler and the bars/beats vertical lines on the canvas updates accordingly.

||

Ardour also supports using complex time signatures such as 11/8 or 27/32.

New time signature markers can be created in two ways:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-clicking on the ruler</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-clicking on the ruler, then selecting the
|
||
|
|
<kbd class="menu">New Time Signature</kbd> menu item</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
In both cases a new window will open to specify time signature settings:

The right-click menu for existing time signature markers provides two options:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><kbd class="menu">Edit…</kbd> to open the
|
||
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Edit Time Signature</kbd> dialog;</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd> to delete the selected time signature marker.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|

provides more hands-on information on using this ruler in production.
