Dual time signatures?
Posted by Peter Roos - 24 Nov 08:40PM
Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans.

Quick question: is there an easy way to have multiple time signatures at the same time, i.e., 4/4 for some instruments and 12/8 for all others? (Example: John Williams' Superman March, bars 35 ff - see violas and celli).

I am trying to figure out whether this was a recent feature introduced in one of the latest updates, but maybe I am mistaken.

I know there are workarounds with 'fake' time signatures etc. but that is too tedious frankly.

Thanks!

If the barlines are the same for both time signatures, then this is easily faked with triplets.

It's not supported natively.
