Converting complex to simple (and viceversa) rhythm scheme
Hi, Gang!!!
I uploaded an score, a simple children song with a simple instrumental accompaniment.
This is wrote in 12/8 (complex tempo) because it has to sound as "swing" style.
But, it can be wrote in 4/4 (simple tempo), using triplets to mantain the "swing" style.
MuseScore has a "Swing" option to playback any score with that mood, but...
How could we convert the complex tempo to simple tempo (and viceversa) with just one action? ???
Can we? ???
Greetings!!!
Juan

There is no such method; you would need to re-enter the rhythms.
Actually, by exporting to MIDI and importing, you might be able to do this, but of course you would lose a lot of scote information along the way.

I exported the file to MIDI format and re-imported to MuseScore but... nothing happened.
What parameters I have to change to get it? ???

BTW: As you can see on this file, I wrote it using 5 lines percussion set staffs to all the percussion instruments I used. I tried to convert to the typical one line staff but some marks are too far for the central line. How can I work it out? ???

To change the assignments of which notes are one which lines, you need the "Edit Drumset" button. But it would have been better to create these as 1 line staves to begin with, using different instruments for each instead of the generic "drumset 5 lines" for all of them. Then this would already be correct.

Somehow, you'd have to change the time signature from 12/8 to 4/4 within the MIDI file, I think. Maybe with an external MIDI editor. But if you can figure that out, so the dotted quarter in the original becomes quarter notes, and the eighths become triplets, then the "recognize swing" option in the MIDI import panel should be able to convert quarter-eighth triplets into plain eighth notes for display purposes.
