If your composite signature is something like 2+3/8, and you tweak
the Vertical Adjustment values in Document Options | Time Signatures,
then the + should get moved along with the 2 and 3, using the Top
Symbol value. If your time sig is something like 2/8 + 3/8, then the
displacement of the + is controlled by the value in Abbreviated
Symbol. This value doesn't just control the placement of common time
and cut time symbols; it controls the placement of time signature
elements which are usually placed centered on the staff -- like cut
time, but also like the + in some composite time sigs.
>2. In normal time signature, do you know the way to obtain 2 instead of 2/4 ?
You mean you want the time sig to really be 2/4, but you want it to
display just as a centered 2 on the staff? I can think of a couple of
different ways:
1. Set the time sig to 2/4, but set it to display as 2/2, abbreviated
to the cut time symbol. In Document Options | Time Signatures, near
the top where it says "Abbreviate Cut Time to", select the numeral 2
instead of the usual cut time symbol.
2. Set the time sig to 2/4, but set it to display as 2/2, *not*
abbreviated. In Document Options | Time Signatures, set your units to
Spaces, then enter -1 for the Top Symbol displacement and 1 for the
Bottom Symbol displacement. This will put the two 2's on top of each
other in the middle of the staff.
