Time signature properties

When you right click the time sig to adjust the beaming it only affects that staff and not others. You can add a new time signature to the master palette with the same time (5/8) with the proper beaming. There's one issue to overcome though, if you replace one 5/8 time signature with another of the same, MuseScore recognizes this as the same time signature and does not fix the beams. The way around this is to create a "temporary" time signature that will not ruin rhythms but is not 5/8. For example, a 3/8 time signature would make many dotted 1/4 notes turn into a 1/4 and 8th note tied together. Putting the 5/8 time signature back will not restore the rhythms. I suggested the Regroup Rhythms be deleted because it causes irreversible deleting of ornaments and articulations. What I mean is that Undo will not restore them so you would need to reenter all of them. So what I do is create a time signature like 10/8 (or in this case the existing 5/4) that is exactly twice as many beats and insert that into the score. I then reinsert the new 5/8 time signature which fixes the beams.
