Very odd time signatures
now i know this is strange but i want to write a piece in 8/7 and i can enter in that time signature but when i go to notate notes, muse score "quits unexpectedly". what should i do?

How can the denominator in a time signature not be a multiple of 2? I certainly know of no way to figure out what the "7" in 8/7 would mean wrt a base note length.

Look at my other reply
There is no way to compute a key signature not divisible by a multiple of 2 (or the #1). It hasn't been done because it really can't be done.
What do you think it would sound like?

Well a "seveth" note would technically be worth an eighth note tied to a thirty-second note and there would be five of those in one measure of 8/7 so it could be a series of quarter notes and there would be five in each measure which would sound awesone because with a metronome it would sound like five over eight, or you could do a series of groups of thirty-second notes in the structure of nine notes per beat and you could sub-divide into some odd number of eighth or sixteenth notes to make some very strange music. However it sounds, i at least want to try it.

An eighth note tied to a thirty-second note = 9/32 and If you want 5 of them = 45/32. I don't get where the 7 come from.
It works pretty well except that currently MuseScore is a litte bit lost in the tuplet calculation and use 32nd notes for a tuplet on a full measure.

Well, no doubt the effect could be nice, but using a 7 in the denominator jut isn't how it would be written. That's not a limitation of MuseScore, that's just how Western music notation works,
