Superimposed time signatures are simultaneous measures of different meters. One part might be in 3/4 and another in 5/4. The barlines coincide that 3 beats occur in the same time as 5 beats. Staggered barlines are used in time signatures that proceed independently from each other. They can be synchronized (3/4 and 5/4 with the quarter-note the same) or unsynchronized (where the measures are as long as they need to be). Here is an example; the top two are simultaneous, the bottom three are staggered: http://maltedmedia.com/images/finale/staggered.jpg Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
