Fractional Time Signatures
Hi guys,
Sometimes, I need to use fractional bar beats in time signatures:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature#Variants
Many fractional symbols exist in the time signature palette:
But, it is not possible to include them from the text input in the property inspector.
What I do, is to create a blank numerator into my custom time signature ; then, I place a fractional bar beats over it by using the text tool:
Unfortunately, with this workaround, I'm losing the automatic placement of the time signature symbol. That is very tricky to maintain in complex scores.
Could you please consider the possibility to add Fractional Time Signatures to the roadmap?
Best regards

Would 7/8 time be any use as a workaround?

Maybe I should ask you to write my music for me.

In fact, the workaround shown in the screenshot is built from a custom 7/8 time signature that has an empty numerator and 4 as denominator. All properties are set from the panel inspector.

Could your score still work if you wrote the whole piece in 7/8 time?

Well, the piece is a waltz, in the form ABA, where the central part is a litle bit unusual. ;-)
I've already used 7/8 in several different pieces (e.g https://youtu.be/fYzI4fzTIqM), but this is not I want to do here.

I think that you need to raise it as an "official" suggestion, (severity S5), in the issue tracker if you want the developers to consider your request.
