Thank you to Johannes, Robert and Eric for the help on this.
There is one thing I discovered which seems to alleviate the need for
TGTools in this situation. I kept the 3/4 part of the signature in the Time
Signature tool and replaced the plus sign with an *option* space. This gave
me enough space for the parentheses, both between the 6/8 and 3/4, and
before the music started. Mac '05, by the way.
Thanks again.
I'm glad you've got the actual problem sorted out. Now comes the
inevitable music theory question --
If you're just placing the two meters beside each other at the start of
the work, how will anybody know when a measure is supposed to get the
3/4 feeling instead of hemiolas in 6/8?
With both meters allowing 6 8th notes (or 3 quarter notes) it may not be
immediately obvious in measures other than ones full of 8th notes where
you can show the meter with the beaming.
This is curiosity only, I don't mean to imply that you shouldn't do
things as you've done them, I'm just wondering how the musicians will
know the difference so they can play the different metrical stresses
properly.
