How can I add a "half note = dotted half note" as a graphic instruction.

• Aug 5, 2018 - 18:02

I have a tune which switches from 4/4 to 3/4 and back. The 3/4 bar is equivalent to 2 beats of the 4/4 time.

I have played many charts where there is a graphic showing a 1/2 note - a dotted 1/2 note and reverse.

How can I do that in MS?

Thanks,

I use two tempo marks in an unused area and add a 1/2 note tempo and a dotted 1/2 note. In my current project I actually have a workspace score since I have so many differrent notes = notes and a large score. I copy the note that goes on the right and paste it in place of the 80. If the tempo changes, I copy all of this text into a tempo text, uncheck the follow text option and adjust the BMP in the inspector. If the tempo stays the same, I put it in a system text and change the text style to Tempo in the inspector.

If you prefer an actual graphic then use the techniques used in https://musescore.org/en/node/266325.
