Can you devs over at musescore build a feature that lets you make half notes into quarter notes and such (1/8->1/4, etc.)?

I had a quick play with lasconic's "Retrograde" plugin, and one could possibly achieve the desired halving of a whole score by changing the array stack "reverse" command to "pop" and inserting a conversion for the tick lengths. By changing the tick conversion value you could convert from, say, 4/4 to 2/4 and from 6/8 to 2/4 etc. So, instead of reversing everything you lay it back down in order in a new score but write with the converted lengths to a new time signature and avoid the problems of just copying and pasting from one time signature to another.
