inputting ususual time signature

Hi- I like to write using 3 32 or 3 23 ( quavers )rhythms but I haven't yet succeeded in changing the key signature in the Transport bar so that when I input music (via keyboard) the quaver groupings looks correct in the Score Editor.

Can this be done ?

Thanks, Kay.

You can't use the transport bar to enter compound time sigs. But if you were to enter 8/4 in the transport bar, you can modify it after the fact by 2-clicking on that sig either in the score editor or the global time sig track and then enter the beat grouping (shown below).

You can also enter time sigs directly in the global time sig editor track (pencil tool) or go into the score editor itself, select the "A+B" signature and enter your beat groupings. In any event, just be sure to check the "print compound" checkbox.

Hi,
I need to have a time signature abbreviation. Just the number 4. Which is the same as 4/4 or C but in this case I need 4.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
