different time signatures - bug?
Hello!
I am preparing an orchestral score. I added all the instruments and the general time signature 12/8. But a few instruments will start in 4/4. I added it successfully to the English horn, and successfully to the bass clarinet. And when I come to the contrabassoon and add 4/4, the complete score switches to 4/4! Yes, I used ctrl+4/4 like in the other instruments and checked multiple times. I always changes the whole score to 4/4. Same when I changed the contrabasses to 8/8.
What am I doing wrong or is it a bug?
Thanks and best wishes,
Tobias

I noticed an interesting fact: If I change the position of the contrabassoon (or any other instrument) in the 3rd order (top to bottom), the individual time changes work! So this very much looks like a bug!
It seems to be an error.
But if you select the measure first and then use Ctrl + 4/4 time signature, then it works.
Dragging with Ctrl+4/4 works for all measures, but not the first one.
How did you achieve it for the English horn and bass clarinet? I have no idea!

In my place the order of clicking measure and pressing ctrl does not have an effect on the result. It does not work either way. It only works on 3rd place in the layout order - thats the trick... (that should be fixed)

Are you on a different OS? I'm on Windows.
There are two methods to set a local time signature:
The first method does not work if you choose measure no. 1 - this is a mistake. But it works with measure 2 and others.
