It's there if you check the independent KEY signature box (not the independent time signature box) and then try to change the TIME signature. It won't change. But if you ALSO check the independent time signature box it will change.

And once you have TWO staves, the time signature changes just fine.

Why anybody with ONE staff would want independent key or time signatures is beyong me (what is it independent from, if it's the only staff), but ours is not to question why.

Clearly this is not a devastating bug on the nature of EPS travesties, but, heck, it might be easy for them to fix and they can brag they've actually fixed reported bugs, all the while ignoring the EPS problems.

The whole system works like it should with TWO or more staves, which is the only situation I can think of where one would even want independent key or independent time signatures enabled.

I can't reproduce the "bug" in FinWIn2005b

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.
