Rhythm Indicator issue
Hi, gang!!!
I discovered something that I like to know if it is well or not: Please, see the attached image.
Is it supposed that the "Values" boxes are shown as grey (unchangeable)? ???
If it isn't, How can I fix it? ???
I guess it is important to the metronome playback beat.

The dialog you are looking at is for changing properties of an already-exting time signature, and those are not properties that one should be changing. You apparently want a *new* time signature; this is created using the time signature section of the Master Palette. Press "Shift+T" to display that dialog.

No, Marc. I don't want a new time signature.
I just want to know why the 6/8 time signature is marked as 3/4 by the metronome, and I guess it is related with the unchangeable values of the picture I uploaded. But I don't know how to fix it!!!
BTW: I used the Master Palette and I can't change any about this issue.
Are you sure it isn't a bug? ???

If you want a 6/8 time signature that behaves differently than the current one, then you *do* want a new time signature. It is not a bug that you cannot change the fundamental properties of an existing time signature.
I am not sure what you mean about the metronome, but the metronome in MuseScore should and does tick two beats in 6./8 time, each corresponding to a dotted quarter note. That is the standard way this time signature is counted and the standard way eighth notes are beamed in this time signature. Do a search on "compound meter" for more information.
If you are seeing some sctual behavior you think is a bug, please post the score you are having problems with and precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem.
In reply to If you want a 6/8 time by Marc Sabatella
Yes! You're absolutely right about the metronome normally should mark (sounds, "do tick") the dotted quarter note into a 6/8 time signature.
What I don't understand is Why into my system the metronome marks the 6/8 time signature as a normal 3/4 time signature (marking, "do tick" on the normal quarter note), which is not "standard". And, as you can see in the picture, the unchangeable real value of the 6/8 time signature of my system is 3/4. Why? How can I fix it?
BTW: Why we can't change the values of a existing time signature? If I create a new 6/8 time signature, How will I know which is the new one? ???
I think I found the solution (I hope so!!!).
The piece is written with 6/8 time signature. It is imported from another application as a MIDI format file. Because a reason I can't understand, the tempo of the piece is related to the quarter notes, not to the eighteen notes, or the dotted quarter notes (which would be the logic, in this case).
Well, I put, on the starting point of the piece, a tempo mark, related to the eighteen note and now... The metronome ticks on each eighteen note!!!
Then, I put a tempo mark related to the dotted quarter note, and the metronome ticks on each dotted quarter mark!!!
So simple!!!
I don't know if this specific point is on the manual, but I didn't have a clue about this.
So... now I know the tempo marks have... an important role, here (not only a playback speed function).
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!!!

Hmm, I wasn't aware of this. I guess maybe it could be considered a feature, or not. Could you post the specific MIDI file and steps to reproduce the different behaviors?
