Converting "irrational" time signatures to tempo changes

Dear Karim and OM Hivemind,

Is there an OM object/ function to convert “irrational” time signatures to tempo alterations?

I attach an example of a passage below, where it would be good to have all denominators a power of 2.

Much appreciated,
Brandon

Dear Brandon,

Of course:

But this will be in my personal library. Here is the code:
norm-timesignature.lisp (3.5 KB)

(you can either put the lisp file in user/ folder of your workspace, or to make it more general in the init folder in your OM application folder)

Some time signatures are reduced which is not ok, so the method needs some small tweak.

If this looks to you useful and for general use i can included it in the OM score objects :slight_smile:

Tell me…

Best
K
