I remember this coming up fairly recently, so I'm sorry for the repeat. However, I couldn't find the conversation in the archives. If anyone knows the date of the previous conversation I'd really like to go take a look.

Anyway, I need to make a time signature with a 4 on top and a quarter note (stem down) on the bottom. Is there any clean, non-kludgy way to do this? I figure it could be done by putting a really big vertical displacement on the bottom symbol (to take it off the page) and dropping in an expression, but I'd rather it be a little neater than that.

Dear Brad,


This is just a little less kludgy: In Options/Document Options/Time Signatures you can replace the C symbol (for common time) with the down-stem quarter note (#81), set it to print a little lower (about 40 EVPUs) then drop in the 4 as an expression.

If you need a lot of these, you can take time to create the signature as a shape expression, assign a metatool for it, set signature to "always hide," and leave enough space for it. You could keep this in a library. This is pretty kludgy itself, though.
