You can set the time signature of the project in the Transport bar, the Signature List, or
the Signature track. The Transport bar displays the time signature in the following
format: numerator : bar denominator : division value.
Bar denominator Numerator
Division value
The division value defines the division in all position displays (such as in the event editors),
and forms the grid for various length and placement operations. The division value is
normally set to 1/16 notes, but has a value range of 1/4 to 1/192 note. If the note value
of the division is equal to or greater than the bar denominator, the third value of the
position display is automatically removed.
Tip: You can use the Set Next Higher/Lower Division key command to switch to the next
highest or lowest division.
The tempo indicator in the Transport window always relates to quarter notes, even if
eighth notes are chosen as the denominator for the time signature.

• Click-hold either of the time signature values, and drag up or down.
