Metric modulation with double dotted Notes
Hello,
there has been a lot of discussion concerning metric modulation, but i have'nt been able to find a thread about double-dotted notes.
Here is what i am planning to do. I have a 7/4 measure with the on beat on a quarter note followed by a dotted eighth note. So basically a double-dotted quarter note.
This would mean, that if a double-dotted quarter note would equal a quarter note in another measure, we would have a normal 4/4 measure with 4 quarter notes.
Regardless of this would be a useful thing to do i want to know, how to set it in MuseScore.
Howether i don't just want it to be displayed like that, but also beeing realised as a BPM change and i would be grateful to know, how this would be possible.
Thank you very much in advance

Creating such a metric modulation with a double dotted notes should be possible and is even pretty easy: just pit a single dotted one into edit mode, place your cursos, press F2, add the dot.
Getting it to set the tempo correctly is a different issue though, that is broken and unfortunately not just for double dotted case, see #277320: Metric modulations AKA relative tempos don't set tempo right

Thank you very much.

It actually worked without any workaround. So it also set the BPM correctly (as far as i can tell).

Wonderfull, I wasn't aware that my code is that flexible ;-)
It works here because of the workaround for that issue, which is (pretending to) edit the metric modulation...
