Carl Orff style time signatures
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)
In reply to I was literally trying to… by Liz Leart
The normal, standard notation time signature for bars made up of two dotted half notes is 6/4.
I don’t understand what the point of these is. Can you explain to me why you want this?
