How to write functionnal complex metric modulation ?

• Nov 12, 2024 - 14:30

Hello, i would like to use this metric modulation in a part. This is to be used as a playback for practicing so it needs to be read by musescore. All the solutions i found are about using an image to inform the player but that's not what i'm looking for.

I understand the image to mean that five eighth-notes (a quarter note + a dotted quarter note) in the old tempo should take as much time in the old tempo as four eighth-notes (one half note) in the new tempo.

new tempo = (5 * old tempo) / 4

See the wikipedia article for metric modulation.

You will have to type in the new numbers yourself, as fara as I understand.

You write "in a part" with might mean that you only want to have a new time signature for one part, but the other parts should still be in 5/8. This makes it more tricky. It you just want it for playback I think you should go for tuplets instead.
