2 The Time Signature ruler allows changing the time signature within one
3 session. In the example below, the session starts with a time signature of
4 4/4, then switches to 3/4 at bar 5, then to 6/8 at bar 13. The division of the
5 ruler and the bars/beats vertical lines on the canvas updates accordingly.

15 Ardour also supports using complex time signatures such as 11/8 or 27/32.
19 New time signature markers can be created in two ways:
23 <li><kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-clicking on the ruler</li>
24 <li>Right-clicking on the ruler, then selecting the
25 <kbd class="menu">New Time Signature</kbd> menu item</li>
29 In both cases a new window will open to specify time signature settings:

44 <kbd class="menu">Edit Time Signature</kbd> dialog;</li>
45 <li><kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd> to delete the selected time signature marker.</li>
