Split a signature
m In the Signature track, use the Scissors tool to cut bars. For example, to divide one 5/4 measure
into a 3/4 and a 2/4 measure, cut the measure at the fourth beat.
If you make a cut in the middle of a bar—in a section where the time signature doesn’t
change—two corresponding shorter measures are inserted, with the original time signature
resuming after the cut.
Merge signatures
