Reesche Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Can you guys tell me how to set up a time signature in Logic Pro X? This is what I would like....... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 with the accent on (1) only. EX: "1" 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 "1" 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc Is this where you'd do that under "Custom"? See Attached: Thanks again you guys! Reesche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 "Number of Beats" corresponds to the divisor of the proverbial equation: "x/8." "Note Value," then, is the dividend of the resulting time-signature: "1/x." --- "Note Value" is ... "what is 'one Beat?'" (One 'eighth note.') "Number of Beats" is ... "how long is a Measure?" (Eight 'eighth notes.') --- You cannot specify, neither can you control, the natural(!) subdivision of "primary" vs. "secondary" beats. If the number of beats in the measure is even, there will always be a secondary beat halfway through: "One two three four." If the number of beats is odd, there will be no secondary.

David Nahmani Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks again David.... Figured out that it was 8/4.... good call! Cool. Note that 8/8 also lets you accentuate only the first 1/8th note of the bar if you group beats by 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
