control time signature change with M4L

Hello,

i want to set time signature changes in the arrangement view of abletonlive via M4L.

Didnt find anything in the LOM.

What could be a way to do that?

Thanks in advance,

signature_denominator and signature_numerator are live_set properties:

signature_denominator and signature_numerator only change the respective properties of a time signature change which already exists, they are not creating a new time signature change at the current position, as far as I can see.

I have the same question like TILLFLY, any help would be appreciated.

if you can control it with a Max device, why can't you automate it? make a couple objects like live.dial that affect signature_denominator and signature_numerator then automate those live.dials in the arrangement view

@ JDUDEO: this is not what I'm looking for. I want the time signature changes in the arrangement view to correspond to time signatures in a score. For example if you have three 4/4 bars and then a 3/4 bar: with your method bar number 4 would immediately become bar number 5. You get my point? And because I'm working on the score in Max I would like the signature changes to be set in Live automatically via m4l.

Could you watch the 'current_song_time' property with a live.observer, and change the numerator/denominator based on that?

Signature changes in the arrangement are handled with 'signature markers' similar to ordinary markers/locators. The LOM offers some operations for ordinary markers (called 'cue_points'), but operations for signature markers are apparently not (yet) available.
