Start a new document, single staff, with 4/4 time signature. In Staff Attributes check 'Independent Key Signature'.
With the Time Signature Tool try to change the time signature to 3/4. Nothing happens - it won't change. Go back and uncheck 'Independent Key Signature'. Now changing time signature works.
Why would anyone want to do this, you ask? When SmartScore starts a file
it
has that attrribute checked and assumes 4/4.
I just tried it (WinFin2005b) and was able to change the time signature just fine. Have you downloaded and installed the update patch?
I had not, but now I have. The bug is still there. I note that Michael Cook was able to replicate this and wonder if others have misread the instructions. It is the independent KEY signature being checked that then prevents the TIME signature tool from working.

That was my mistake, I misread your message as well -- the same thing happens in WinFin2005b. The time signature won't change.
However, if you ALSO check "Independent Time Signature" in addition to "Independent Key Signature" you can change the time signature.
