Which modifier key is used to insert a meter change by clicking on the Meter ruler?

• A. Control-click on meter ruler
• B. Command-click on meter ruler
• C. Option-click on meter ruler
• D. Shift-click on meter ruler

Answer: (A)

In Pro Tools, inserting a meter change at a specific point on the timeline is done by using a modifier-click on the Meter ruler. The exact action here uses the Control key. Holding Control and clicking on the Meter ruler places a new meter (time signature/tempo change) at that location, and you can then set the new meter value starting there. This lets you change how the timing of your music maps to bars and beats at precise moments, which is essential for sections that require a different tempo or time signature. The other modifier keys perform different quick actions in various contexts, but they don’t insert a meter change at the clicked location on the Meter ruler.
