Default Re: Changing note values while changing meter - I'm stumped

1. Set all your tracks to sample ref
2. Set your meter to 12/8 with click to dotted 1/4s
3. Set your master tempo to dotted 1/4 resolution
4. Change your MIDI tracks back to tick ref

Now they should be on the 1/8s as expected.
suicune, I'm trying to do the opposite procedure and haven't been able to make it work. I want to go from 12/16 to 4/4 using triplets. I followed your instructions setting the click to 1/4 instead of dotted 1/4. The Score Editor still shows me straight 1/16ths where I want 1/8 triplets. Any advice?

Thanks.
