Re: [Finale] large time signatures

[SN jef chippewa]

you should also play with the values for "space before" and "space 
after" time sig in the score (Document Options/Time Signatures)

Re: [Finale] large time signatures

[Robert Patterson]

I would recommend creating separate staves (with zero staff lines and no
barlines) for the time sigs. Then apply the time sigs as expressions. (You
can set them to self-position automatically.) The only issue is gonna be
cautionary time sigs at the end of systems. You probably can't quite
achieve the exact look of the Carter's cautionaries without a huge fuss.

Finale 25.3 introduced the ability to show time sigs in the part whilst
hiding them in the score, so that's what you should select for each staff
as well.

Hi, Dr. Weinstangel

Have you tried the document options time signature dialogue? I believe that is 
where you can create various configurations for the time signature.
Dr. Hal Owen, http://pages.uoregon.edu/hjowen/, has several Final tutorials 
including enlarging time signatures.

I've used to know how to create large time signatures (one for each section, 
rather than on each staff) in the score, but am now unable to do it.

TIA for your help.

Re: [Finale] LARGE TIME SIGNATURES

[Florence + Michael]

If you want one time signature for each section, the best way is to create a 
certain number of systems that only show time signatures. For these systems, 
you hide everything (staff lines, bar lines, etc.) apart from the time 
signatures. You set the systems which actually have music in them to not show 
time signatures. In Document Options  Fonts set the font for Time (score) to 
something suitably large. 

With this technique, you have total flexibility in the vertical placement of 
the time signatures.
