Thank you!
Here is a previous discussion of this. I think there is a good proposal from Marc.

Thank you!
It can be done, but it's a pain:
You have to create the second signature by drawing glyphs off the symbols palette (Shift-F9). The first glyph will have to be "pinned" to the first note or rest in the measure. Shift its placement by dragging it, or using F8 (my preference). You'll also have to disable "automatic placement." Additional glyphs can be created and pinned to the first. ALSO make sure that the glyphs match the note font you are using, otherwise they won't match--see the last measure of my example--4/4 is in Leland and 2/4 in Emmentaler.
Hopefully this is an issue which will be simplified in future versions. When I have discussed this on this forum, I was challenged why anyone might want to create such notation.

Actually, Jojo-Schmitz' method is MUCH MUCH simpler, but only works if you don't want to include parentheses or equal sign glyphs--basically you're creating a time signature of 42 44thnotes! Also, the spacing will be slightly different, and maybe not quite what you want. (See the last measure of this, revised file)

How did you maked the time signature from last measure?
P.S. : It would help if you could explain a little bit more broadly. I didn't really underestood Jojo-Schimtz method...
Thank you in advance!

My only issue is that there should be a little space between the two fractions--look at your png. file--which won't happen using his method: Basically the difference between "4 2" and "42." But that being said, if the difference doesn't bother you, his method is MUCH MUCH simpler.

The great Johannes Brahms needed a dual time signature when composing his song Op.59 No.5 "Agnes":

You, and Brahms, stood by me then, as well:-)

Less than a year ago, and it had already slipped from my memory banks... ;-)
