Intro to time signatures in Logic Pro for iPad

Time signatures are global events that affect all tracks in a project in Logic Pro for iPad. When you create a new project, the time signature defaults to 4/4, unless you choose a different time signature. You can view, add, and edit time signatures in the Time Signature track and the display in the control bar.

The initial time signature is a project property. For information on setting the initial time signature, see Set the project time signature.

Time signatures determine the number of beats in each bar (as shown in the ruler), and so define the editing grid in the Tracks area and the time-based editors (including the Audio Editor and Piano Roll Editor). Time signature changes do not affect the playback of audio or MIDI regions.

You can add any number of time signature changes to a project. When you add a time signature change, it changes the time signature from the insertion point forward, until the next time signature change is reached.
