Copying Signatures
You can copy time signatures and key signatures in the Signature List, or Signature
track. It is also possible to copy all time and key signatures from one project to another.
Subsequent signatures are inserted at bar positions that correspond to their original
distance from the first copied signature.
To copy signatures in a project via drag and drop:
m Press Option, then drag the signature (in the Signature track) to the target bar position.
To copy signatures in a project via the Clipboard:
1 Select the time and key signatures in the Signature Editor or Signature track by clicking
on them (Shift-click for multiple selections).
2 Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C) to copy them to the Clipboard.
3 Do one of the following:
 In the Signature track: Move the playhead to the desired insert position, then choose
Edit > Paste (Command-V).
 In the Signature List: Choose Edit > Paste (Command-V), type in the desired insert
position in bar position box, then close the box by pressing Return.
To copy signatures between projects:
1 Select the desired signatures in the Signature track or Signature List.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (or press Control-C).
All signature changes of the source project are copied to the Clipboard.
3 Switch to the desired target project.
4 Activate the Signature track or Signature List, then choose Edit > Paste (or press
Control-V).
The copied meter changes are pasted into the target project.
Note: As any copied time and key signature changes are mixed with those of the
destination project when pasted, this procedure should only be used to copy such
changes to a blank project (one that contains no time and key signature changes,
except the initial settings).
