Yes, with 3/4th time there are 3 beats in one measure, and yeah, a note that is 1/4th beats in length is a quarter note.
Like Sir Guy said, there is currently no way to change the grid itself. This site isn't the most advanced out there, but it still is good!
With this kind of thing, its about fractions and math. I trust that you, as a programmer, can handle fractions.
In 3/4ths time, only 3 quarter notes will fit into one measure (or "stanza"), rather than the alternative which is 4/4ths time, that fits four quarter notes in a measure.
The thing is that these "measures" are kind of imaginary. I mean, don't get me wrong: According to any music teacher, and according to all music theory, measures are very real. But it is very easy to create a song that is in 3/4ths even though it is viewed in a grid that is sectioned in 4/4ths. The timing depends on where the down beats are. You can feel the downbeats the most easily out of all the beats in the song. They normally play when the first notes of the meldoy hit, and you can feel them as they are the first beat of each measure. A visual grid can help you, but it cannot tell you where to put the downbeat.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.
