doing the math to change time signature ?
Hi all --
i'm working with a piece i improvised that was transcribed by a computer / i've edited it from there.
it's currently in 4/4 where quarter note = 110.
I am wondering how to take the whole piece and reconfigure it so it's 4/4 and quarternote=55 .
so not just a TIME SIGNATURE CHANGE / but changing half notes to quarter notes etc.
it's not too long so might try doing manually, but before i do wondered if there's a computer way to do this ???

pretty easy my friend,
first, select the part which you want to change the tempo, and copy it
then go to →/Edit/, find → /Paste half duration/ (you can paste as double duration if you want),
ctrl+v, and u r done) ))
It's not a time signature change at all. You said that it's currently in 4/4 and that you want it to end up in 4/4. That's the same time signature.
GrillingUXO's advice is pretty on target. You probably want to find blank space to put this in: you can make a blank measure at the end. Copy the part you want to change, Move the cursor to the blank measure and click on Edit / Paste half duration. Select the first note of the new measures and add the metronome marking (quarter note = 55) from the Tempo palette.
No math required!
FYI: The original and this copy should sound identical when played.
