There is a nice new (undocumented?) change to time signature handling in the recent Logic Pro X 10.3 update.
Time Signatures in Logic Pro X 10.3
For reference, this was my setup as of writing this list: Logic Pro X 10.4.2, US Key Command Preset, Full Sized MAC Keyboard with numpad (Swedish layout). Watch all my Logic Pro X Tips & Tricks Videos here. I wish you all the best in improving and mastering your workflow in Logic Pro X! Using this keyboard is also a great way to learn the Logic Pro X key commands. And since the Logic Pro X dedicated keyboard also features all the regular letter, number, and symbol labelling that you will find on a conventional keyboard, it can simply be used as a substitute for.
Clicking on the time signature in the LCD now brings up a new pop up menu with a list of common choices.

- Time Signatures in Logic Pro X 10.3 Clicking on the time signature in the LCD now brings up a new pop up menu with a list of common choices. 01 New time sig pop up menu Clicking the Custom option at the bottom opens a pop over to create custom time signature values.
Clicking the Custom option at the bottom opens a pop over to create custom time signature values.
Now, you may notice that your list of values doesn't look the exact same as mine. That's because the custom time signature menu that is displayed acts like a 'recent items' list. The last 10 defined custom time signatures are shown in the menu.
I think this new pop up menu is a great way of simplifying the casual use of multiple time signatures that will probably suit 99% of us 99% of the time. Simply position the Playhead, choose a time signature, and it is automatically inserted at that position. Repeat as needed, and you're done! No need to open the Global tracks or Signature List; you can create and enter custom signatures straight from the LCD. To delete one, simply change it to the desired value you want to revert to. However for more complex management of multiple signatures (moving them, copy/pasting to different locations, etc) the Global Track and Signature List are necessary
This is my complete list of all my favorite Logic Pro X Key Commands.
My name is Mike, I am a composer and Logic Pro X user. Just. Like. You! =)
Logic Pro X-change Instrument Key Signature
The reason I made this list of key commands was simply because I personally was frustrated with trying to remember them all.
All Key Commands marked in bold Animal crossing 2p. are my own custom key commands.
