I am creating work sheets for my music students and want to have the time signature appear at the beginning of each new line of these pages.
I can't figure out how to insert the time signature onto these lines.
I'm not changing the time signature on any each line, I just want each line to start with the same 4/4.
Please help. Thank you.
Need Time Signature Visible on All Lines

Is this what you mean?

There are two elements in this trick.
First of all:
I recommend that you lock all the systems.
This will make sure that the first measure in a system does not “re-flow”, e. g. up to the end of the previous system.
Both elements in this trick are done with the Measure Tool:
1) Double-click the first measure in a system.
The dialog box Measure Attributes appears.
In the pop up menu Time Signature, choose “Always Show”.
2) Double-click the last measure in the previous system.
Select the option “Hide Cautionary Clefs, Key and Time Signatures”.
While you are here, you might also want to select a “Final Barline” for the measure’s right barline.
