Chapter 3 Arrange Window 127
Time and Key Signature Editor
The Time and Key Signature Editor window allows you to copy, move, and delete time
signature changes, key signature changes and global score symbols (repeat signs,
special barlines and so on).
Choose Signature/Key Change List Editor from the Options menu to open this window.
This editor is very similar in use to the Event List editor, except that new list entries can
only be created by copying existing ones.
The following score symbols are displayed in this window as list entries, if they are
present in the score of the song (note: the initial time and key signature of the song is
always displayed here, without bar position indications at the top of the list):
• Time signature changes
• Key signatures/key changes, as displayed in the Score Edit window
• Repeat signs (repeat start, repeat end, repeat end and start, brackets for first and
second endings)
• Special barlines: double barlines, final double barlines (“end of score”), half/short
barlines, hidden barlines (displayed as dotted lines on the screen) and manually
inserted regular barlines.
Note: None of these symbols affects Logic’s MIDI and audio playback. Time signatures
do, however, affect both the score display and the bar position display in all windows.
All functions reliant on the chosen time signature and bar positions (such as MIDI
metronome click or Transform window functions) are affected, if bar positions are used
to restrict a function to a certain part of the song.

Copying Time and Key Signatures
Time signatures, key changes, repeat signs, and special barlines can be copied in this
window, exactly as in the Event List:
• Select all list entries that you want to copy by clicking on them (Shift-click for
multiple selections) and use Edit > Copy (Command-C) to copy them to the
Clipboard.
• Insert copied entries by choosing Edit > Paste (Command-V).
