Edit the time signature
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• In the Signature track (or the Score Editor), double-click a time or key signature, then
edit the signature in the (Time or Key) Signature dialog.
• For projects with a single time signature, choose a new signature from the LCD.
• For projects with multiple time signatures, move the playhead onto or to the right of the
time signature you want to change, then choose a new signature from the LCD. The last
time signature event to the left of the playhead changes to the new value.
Move a signature
• In the Logic Pro Signature track, select a time or key signature and drag it to a new
position.
Split a signature
• In the Logic Pro Signature track, use the Scissors tool to cut bars. For example, to divide
one 5/4 measure into a 3/4 and a 2/4 measure, cut the measure at the fourth beat.
If you make a cut in the middle of a bar—in a section where the time signature doesn’t
change—two corresponding shorter measures are inserted, with the original time
signature resuming after the cut.
Merge signatures
• In the Logic Pro Signature track, Shift-click the signatures with the Glue tool.
