Gord, I don't think you can read a time sig that's already in the score. You can land on it using the Find Dialog. However, you can't hit Enter to read the contents of the field. Looking at the contents of a measure would tell you how many beats were in it, but you might not know what value gets one beat. There may be no solution for this.

He can't remember offhand whether there is a way to do it, though he thinks he may have implemented something. He will let me know.
