Changing Time Signatures in individual and/or small blocs of measures (bars) rather than a whole staff.
I'm currently working on an orchestral score where I need to be able to change a Time Signature on two measures (bars) of a staff. As it currently stands; if I change the Time Signature on one staff (instrument), the Time Signature on all staffs (instruments) are changed. I would like to suggest a feature where the Time Signature of a single measure (bar) -- or a small bloc of measures (bars) -- may be changed while the rest of the score is unchanged. Could this be done?

I stared to answer this before realising that this is a feature request, not a question about how to do it with current resources.

Unfortunately, no. That only tells you how to change the Time Signature on a whole staff (instrument). I only need to change the Time Signature on two measures (bars) of the staff while the rest of the score stays in the original Time Signature. I've already put in a request for this feature.

Do it backwards, 'change' to the old time signature first

Jojo has the method that works.
Stat with the last place you want to make the change, and put the initial time sig. in the first bar where you want to go back to the original time.
Then place the new time sig where you want it. and repeat.
