Time signatures are represented by the beats element for the numerator and the beat-type element for the denominator. The symbol attribute is used indicate common and cut time symbols as well as a single number display. Multiple pairs of beat and beat-type elements are used for composite time signatures with multiple denominators, such as 2/4 + 3/8. A composite such as 3+2/8 requires only one beat/beat-type pair.The print-object attribute allows a time signature to be specified but not printed, as is the case for excerpts from the middle of a score. The value is "yes" if not present. The optional number attribute refers to staff numbers within the part. If absent, the time signature applies to all staves in the part.
