Yep, 2/10. Or 7/24. I'm not getting into the explanation of what they mean right now....but...

Basically, I want to substitute different numbers for the '8' or '16' displayed, while keeping the function of the signature the same. Is there a way to do this?

Pardon me for stating the obvious, but those signatures are meaningless. We do not have a "10th" note or a "24th" note in our notational system, and the lower number is not simply a number. It is an identification of the note value indicated. There is no "four-four" time; it should be and is read as "four-quarter" time--four quarter notes per measure.


As you can clearly see, I'm not into complex or experimental 20th century notation at all. There may be a meaning for what you want to do. I just would never understand that meaning without a clear explanation, and neither would any other average musician.
