3/4 Time Signature

[Ullemann123]

It annoys me how 4/4 is the only available time signature to sequence with. It makes 3/4-sequencing more tedious and I can't imagine adding the option to change between 4/4 and 3/4 would be that difficult? 

Adding 3/4 would in my opinion allow for more variety in sequences, maybe also add 3/4 as a search filter so you can search for 3/4 sequences exclusively?

Press F12 to open developer tools. Press the "Console" tab and paste this code in:

var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value = parseFloat(3/4);
opt.text = "1/"+String(opt.value*4);
document.getElementById('grid_select').add(opt)

Then, in the bottom left, click where it says "1/4" in a dropdown list and select "1/3" at the bottom.

That's cool, thanks. But I still think it should be part of the interface and not some code you have to add yourself

As the creator of the code, I totally agree. Custom grids are already built in, they are just unused for no reason.

Frank, you should add smaller values for triplets

Frank, you should add smaller values for triplets

1/2 triplets
var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value = parseFloat(3/4);
opt.text = "1/"+String(opt.value*4);
document.getElementById('grid_select').add(opt)

1/4 triplets:
var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value = parseFloat(6/4);
opt.text = "1/"+String(opt.value*4);
document.getElementById('grid_select').add(opt)

some presets

Code:

var note_lengths = [64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25];
var note_symbols = ["16", "8", "4", "2", "1", "1/2", "1/4", "1/8", "1/16"];
var tuplets = [3, 5, 7, 11];
var tuplet_names = ["triplet", "quintuplet", "septuplet", "undecatuplet"];
while (grid_select.firstChild) {
   grid_select.removeChild(grid_select.firstChild);
}
for (var i = 0; i < note_lengths.length; i++) {
   var nl = note_lengths[i];
   var ns = note_symbols[i];
   var opt = document.createElement("option"); opt.value = 1/nl; opt.text = ns;  grid_select.add(opt);
   for (var j = 0; j < tuplets.length; j++) {
    var t = tuplets[j];
    var tn = tuplet_names[j];
    var opt1 = document.createElement("option"); opt1.value = t/(nl*2); opt1.text = ns + "(" + tn + ")";  grid_select.add(opt1);
   }
}
