Once you've selected the desired time signature values and selected how you what the beats to be distributed, click Ok to have the new time signature and all beats and bar positions following it (until the end of the song or the next time signature) will be calculated. If you know the number of bars between the current time signature and the next one, you can have Song Master calculate the required bpm necessary to have the given number of bars. use number of bars - this option is useful when there are multiple time signatures in a song.use fixed bpm - this option will replace all the calculated beat and bar positions with new ones calculated for a fixed bpm.This may also be the case if Song Master determines the song is in, for example, 4/4 when it should be in 6/4 if the metronome is playing on the beats then selecting this option will recalculate new bar lines every 6 beats (instead of every 4). In this case, we don't want the beat positions to change but we won't Song Master to calculate the new bar positions based on grouping the requested number of beats in a bar. This is commonly the case when Song Master has identified the song as 3/4 but it is really 6/8 or 12/8. keep existing beats - use this option if the beats are correct (when playing the song, activate the metronome), but the bars are not positioned correct.For example, if Song Master has the correct bars/measures but says the song is in 4/4 when it is really in 3/4, then selecting this option will not change the bar positions but will, instead, redistribute where the beats are in each bar. keep existing bars - use this if Song Master has correctly determined the bar positions but has mis-identified the number of beats in the bar.

Song Master provides four different ways to distribute beats and it is important to think about this before you click Ok.

How to distribute beats for the new time signature The reason for this is because it is important to select how you want the beats to be distributed when the new time signature is changed. Unlike the other marker property editors, any changes you make in the editor will not take affect until you click OK. You can change the Time Signature using the two drop-down lists at the top to change the numerator and denominator values separately, or you can select a pre-defined value from the drop-down button to the right. To change the time signature to something else, say 6/8, double click the time signature marker to display the marker properties dialog box. When Song Master analyzes a song, it will determine the time signature of the song as either 4/4 or 3/4 and insert a marker at the start of the Time Signature track. You can show or hide the Time Signature track Time Signature track under the View menu or by pressing the shortcut keys: alt+ t.
