Large Time Signature placement on Scores

Hello - I need three large signatures on a full score. The top two are placed exactly where I want them, however, the bottom is being based off the Timpani, the last part on the score. I would like it based on the low brasses, centered between the Trombone 1 and Tubas 1, 2. As you can see, it’s too low when based on the Timpani.

Here are my Layout Options Settings. In Manual Placement, why is there not an option to choose the low brass “Trombone 1 to Tuba 1, 2” setting? Seems like there should be a few more groupings available in Manual Placement. Also, in Engraving Options, my settings for “Time Signature Centered on Brackets” is 10 for all three: one staff, two or three, and four or more.

Bottom line, I need the lowest time signature on the score to be raised up so that it is not below the Timpani. (I tried setting the Timpani vertical alignment to Bottom thinking that would move it up but it did not.)

Thanks in advance.

You can try to select “Trumpet 1 to Tuba 2” and “Timpani to Timpani”, then click the trash. They all will appear in the Players column.

Select Timpani and Tuba 2 (or higher if you want), click the +.

It will make a new group.

I think you need to redo the groups so that the second one ends higher up. Bass Trombone perhaps. Then the last group from there to the Timpany.

It seems ok for me with these settings:

These suggestions helped me find a solution. I played around with the settings and it’s now how I want it. I knew there had to be something I was missing. Thanks to all three of you.
