Any ideas how I can easily and simply create something like this? I'm dealing with both 3/4 and 4/4. I've tried several options, none of which are thrilling me. Trying to *simply* replicate the alignment, etc.

In an expression, each element can be created and positioned the way you want. Change font, size, style, and especially, in the Text menu, use "Baseline Shift" (for the = sign, for 3, 4 unless you find 3/4 ready to use in a font).

Many (maybe even most) fonts have the fractional character.

Maestro Times has 3/4, but not with time-signature numerals.

I wouldn’t expect to be, since I’ve never seen a time signature as a slashed fraction.

Of course, you will all now jump on me with numerous examples... :D
