imported midi in 4/4 instead of 3/4
I'm newbie. My first use of this nice application.
I imported a midi file, a SATB for choir, but it's converted to 4/4 and full of triplets.
Do you know how to fix it , changing the measure of the full score? The same way you can transpose the tone, isn't it possible to translate the bar?
I've seen the basic tutorials, but they begin with the measure established

Try 2.0 Beta 1, its MIDI import has been greatly improved.

Thanks, I'm already using the nightly version.
I've found a midi import page in the handbook, tried settings and could fix it. Setting swing detection did it.
There is also a tuplet setting which may also work.
Also now I'm looking at the score and I think I was wrong, it didn't change the bar, just filled it with a lot of triplets due to the swing rhythm.
Anyway I don't see that you can force the measure, for instance if you want to change a song from 6/8 to 3/4. This might be a useful feature.
Now the problem with my score is that the anacrusis has not been properly detected (recognize pickup measure is on, but couldn't detect it), so I'd like to shift all the notes three pulses right.

Same as / similar too #37341: MIDI Pickup Measure Detect Shows 8/4 Measure Instead of Pickup Followed by 4/4 Bar?

You can correct the anacrusis like this:
Select the whole score and cut it with Ctrl+ X. You will now be left with just whole note rests in the bars.
Right click on an empty part of the first bar and select 'bar properties'. Set the actual duration to what you want.
Highlight the first rest (now a crotchet or whatever you've chosen) and hit Ctrl+ V to paste the notes into their correct position.
You'll also need to adjust the duration of the final bar so that it all adds up.
