Time signatures tell the performer how many beats are in the measure and which note value is worth one beat. This element is a crucial element of any musical score. In MuseScore most of the elements that you need to change use a simple method to add elements to a score. Changing the time signature to the correct one is one of the first steps you should take before writing music.
Step 1
Double-click the application in the application menu to open the program. Once the program is open, select the score that you wish to modify and open it.
Step 2
Click on the fifth option from the top, the Time Signature menu, on the right-hand side of the program screen. A list of time signatures will appear.
Step 3
Click and drag the time signature that you would like to use to the correct measure in the score. For instance, If you want the time signature to appear at the beginning of the score, drag the time signature to the first measure. If your time signature is not listed, continue to Step 4.
Step 4
Determine the numbers you need for your time signature. You can do this by determining how many beats are in each measure; this number will be the top number. Then determine what note value gets one beat; this will be your bottom value.
Step 5
Select the "Create" file menu and click on the "Time Signatures" option. A box will appear with two options for you to customize.
Step 6
Enter in the correct time signature in the box that appears. The box is set up like a normal time signature. The value on top will be the number that appears on the top half of the time signature. The number on bottom will appear on the bottom half of the time signature.
Step 7
Click the add button and view your new time signature in the preview pane to the right. Drag your time signature to the measure in which you wish it to appear and you are done.
