Changing the Time signature of a score It's easier than that. Just select the entire score (Ctrl+A) and then use the time signature dialog (T). The time signature will be added at the start of the score, replacing the pre-existing initial signature. If you select a bar or range of bars then two time signatures will be added. One at the start of the selection and another at the end. The signature at the end will restore the old signature. the same way, so if you learn how to insert one, you'll have cracked them all. Just remember that clefs and instrument changes are staff object whereas time signatures are always system objects. Key signatures can be either staff or system items, depending on whether you check the "one staff only" check box in the key signature dialog. (You don't need to add keys signatures to deal with transposing instruments, Sibelius does that automatically.)
