Creating Compound Complex Time Signatures

• Mar 6, 2025 - 04:04

Hi there,

I am trying to create a time signature that displays as 10/8+7/16 for readability, as two separate fractions. When I try entering this into the custom number input in 'Time Signature Properties' it forces me to put all numbers on one fraction. Is there a way around this? I think I remember being able to do this in the older versions of Musescore.

Thanks for the help!

I'm'a guess that you're going to have to create the "logical" time signature of 27/16 (10/8 = 20/16 + 7/16), hide it, and include an image of your desired time signature on top of the hidden one.

Personally, I would not call 10/8+7/16 "readable" under any circumstances.
