Okay I gave that a shot. Zoomed Way in, placed the playhead, clicked on it to add a new time sig and the time sig defaulted to the nearest whole number measure location rather than the playhead. thoughts?
If you have a measure of 4/4, and half way through that measure you want 7/8… your first measure can not be 4/4 any more.
4/4 is four beats. If I wanted to change to 7/8 half way through a 4/4 measure, you’re not actually playing 4/4, You’re playing 2/4 and then 7/8.
(rephrased. if you place a time signature change half way through a 4/4 measure, you’ve cut two beats out, that measure is now 2/4, you must assign that measure 2/4 before moving forward)
This is why it’s not letting you place a time signature wherever you want. The previous time signature has to resolve before adding a new one, OR you need to correct it.
If you want to change time signatures mid-measure, you must do the math and figure out ‘also’ what the time signature of the previous should be.
I don’t teach theory, this is the best I can ramble it out in a few minutes. Hope that helps.
