Adding time signatures in Sibelius is just as easy as adding key signatures in other objects.… Similar to adding key signatures, there are several ways to input time…signatures into your score.…If you get a chance to play this score, you'll notice how the music transitions…primarily between 3/4 and 4/4, and it could also work in other meters.…And you can see that on the page as well.…So this score needs some time signatures.…Letter T for time signature.…Sibelius makes it easy.…So you have some basic time signatures that you can choose from here, and you can…also check the Other box and you can type in your own time signature, and we'll…do that in just a little bit.…
For right now, we're going to put a 3/4 bar at the very beginning of the score,…so I'm going to check 3/4.…And you'll notice this check box here that says Rewrite bars up to next time signature.…That's if you're putting a time signature in when you already have notes on the page.…It's going to rewrite all the rest of the notes up until the next time signature,…
