Hi,
I would like to know how to include a bar of 2 beats (2/2 measure) among the rest of 4 beats per bar (4/4 measure) ? like this for instance :

Count:| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4     | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   | 1 + 2 +  |
   Cym:| ---------------- | ---------------- | ------S  |
    Hh: | x-x-x-x-x-x-O--- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x- |
   SnD:| ----o-------o--- | ----o-------o--- | ----o--- |
   BD1:| o-------o------- | o-------o------- | o------- |

Count: | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4e+  |
   Cym: | S--------------- | ---------------- |
    Hh:  | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- |
  Tom1:| ---------------- | -------------o-- |
  Tom2:| ---------------- | --------------o- |
   SnD: | ----o-------o--- | ----o---f---o--- |
   BD1: | o---------o----- | o-o-------o----- |


I use Dtab 0.98g registered.
Thank you in advance.

Click on any bar divider.  This will pop up the time signature window.  Then select the required time signature.

Also, you should update to V0.99.  Just go to the DTAB home page (http://www.dtab.underwaredesign.com) download and install the new version over the old version.

Thanks a lot !

Just another question : how to print exactly the screen, I mean in terms of number of bar per line ? I tried to change the page width but in vain. How to insert a "line feed" ? Why not include "CRLF" characters that allow a customized print out ?
For instance, with DTab, I get on the first line 3x 4/4 bar then 1x 2/2 bar, and on the following line 2x 4/4 bars.
When I export this, the result is the following : 2x 4/4 bar then 1x 2/2 bar then 1x 4/4 bar.

Thank you in advance.
