Carl Orff style time signatures

• Mar 8, 2016 - 19:32

Request to support Carl Orff style time signatures. That is, a time signature that has the lower number replaced by an actual note. Thus, for example, 6/8 would be notated as number 2 above a dotted quarter note.

Wikipedia has a short mention about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature#Other_variants .

Finale supports this.

A work-around would be to select 6/8 as usual but then hide it, then create a graphic of what you really want and place on top.

I was literally trying to find how to do this last night, this would be an amazing feature! Honestly, I think this system of showing time signatures should be the standard. ( Especially Because it can show time signatures that normal notation cannot convey, like a bar made up of two dotted half notes)
