    Thanks for the thread, saves me asking the question. I'll just add my, much more limited, use case. I wanted to do something with a few bars of 3/4 as an intro and then change to 4/4 for the rest of the tune. I tried to do that with triplet view in one short intro clip and then the other clips in normal view.

    Maybe I've not done it correctly, but it's not really working for me as, has been mentioned previously in the this conversation, triplet view is not really 3/4, it just divides up the bar differently. So in my case even thought I've got 3 and 4 beats in bars they are at completely different tempos, so 3 beats are spread over the 4 beat bar, (obviously as that's a triplet ;)

    Anyhow have to move to a laptop and use that.

    Yep, like you said, triplet view is not 3/4. it is still 4/4 with each beat divided into 3 rather than 2 (or 4) So your tempo would be shifting by like 30%!
    For 3/4 Hold Shift and Press and turn <> to change clip length to 0.3.0 bars for every clip in that section. 3/4 is a lot easier to program than any odd numbers above 4, due to the grid. Even then it can get a bit mathsy if you are zooming in even just to 16ths etc.

    As for 5, 7, 9 and so on, programming in a silent "metronome" note on every beat as a visual reference point is helpful with kits but not so much with synths/melodic things. Other than that I'm not sure how to get around it once you are zoomed in...

    Some high grade wonky noodles man. And the title track is cool, reet dark and chillingly together amongst the doodles. Well done on getting it done and released, glad to hear things are looking up and keep on keeping on.
    Take it easy, but take it
