Problem with time signature change

[Mark Swanson]

Ok, I am using the latest version of Waveform, on windows 10.
I am trying to enter a simple time signature change command. It doesn't work right. I can click the time signature right near the playback controls, and the parameter info boxes appear below. I can enter the time change and place the cursor where I want it to happen... Then click "Insert at cursor" and the time change appears at the start of the track, I cannot get it to appear where I want it to. No matter what I do... is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Try placing the cursor first, then making the time change, then clicking "insert at cursor."

Or: place the cursor, click the time signature near the playback controls, click Insert At Cursor, then change the TS.

"Try placing the cursor first, then making the time change, then clicking "insert at cursor."

Thanks, I did that many times as I tried to figure things out. My description was off in the order that I put things... but i did that and it didn't help.

Try placing the cursor first, then making the time change, then clicking "insert at cursor."

And I did that, too. The time change then appears at the start of the track (in the Tempo track of course), and not where the cursor is. And if I try to drag it where I want it, it won't move. At this point, the time signature shows up in the Tempo track as red, and if I hit "enter" it will turn white and a marker then appears in the marker track. WTF?

Did you try mine? It worked for me. Don't make the time change until you've clicked the Insert at cursor button. I got four time changes in a bar using it.

Yes, jabe is right. I was away from my music computer and misremembered.

When you click "insert," Tracktion inserts *a* key signature, not necessarily the one you want, but just change it in the dialogue box and IIRC hit "return."

So thank you Jabe, that did work for me! I just could not figure it out, and was doing things in the wrong order! Every thing is fine now.
All that for two extra measures of 2/4!

Sorry to bump this thread, but I can't figure out how to insert a time signature. I get no options when right-clicking on the time signature next to the playback controls other than for the one shown. Why not just a right-click option on the timeline?

Never mind. I was looking for the command in the pop-up menu, not to the left in the properties.
