Use time signature changes in Logic Pro for iPad

When you create a new project in Logic Pro for iPad, by default it has one time signature that lasts for the entire project. You can add time signature changes using the Time Signature track. When a project has multiple time signatures, you can edit and move them in the Time Signature track. If a project has only one time signature, you can change the initial time signature in the display. You can delete time signature changes in a project, but you can’t delete the initial time signature.

In the Time Signature track in Logic Pro, do one of the following:
- Place the playhead at the position where you want to add a time signature change, then tap the Add Time Signature button .
- Tap the Pencil button in the global tracks header area, then tap a point in the Time Signature track.
