OT-4/4 to 12/8 trouble

OT-4/4 to 12/8 trouble

2005-10-13 by Jim Seaman

Hi

Here's a time conversion that won't work for me.
I have a tune in 4/4 that would read easier if it was in 12/8.
When I change the time signature in the transport window  the results 
are unreadable.
The quarter note does not change to a dotted quarter and the subdivided 
bar does not conform to 4 groups of 3 (a value of 3 8th notes )
I've tried all quantize possibilities I can think of.
Also I've exhausted the help file suggestions (info) No luck.
Has any one been successful with this conversion?
Or will I have to rewrite the entire file?

Thanks
Jim

Jim,

	You should re-post this to the main list.  You'll get better responses.

	I've had similar quandaries with this in the past but I don't 
remember if I solved it or just banged my head against the wall.  :-)

	Also, I'm sure it was with a much earlier version so whatever 
I did is probably not applicable now anyway.
