Hello,
I am trying to write in Finale the score of "The Littles" intro:

But I do not know which key and time signature is.
I suppose that it is in C or G major and I do not know the time signature.
Please, Can you help me?.
Thanks in advance.

To me the key sounds like G Major.
As time signature, you could use 4/4
- or 4/2 if you prefer the bigger note values.

Thanks for reply!.
Please, Can you tell me if I am wrong?, I think the rhythm is similar to this song:

Is also 4/2 or 4/4?

You can notate the time signature as 4/4 or as 4/2 - that is a matter of taste.
An 8th in 4/4 corresponds to a 4tr in 4/2.

Oops! sorry!
I am so used to these abbreviations that I forget, they may not be obvious to everyone.
By my abbreviation ‘8th’ I mean ‘Eighth’.
By my abbreviation ‘4tr’ I mean ‘Quarter’.
