Im trying this post again... One thing I`m not getting the hang of is making fills though. Let`s say I have a 4/4 song @ 130 bpm, and I want to make 4 triplets over one bar (substitute the snare hits on 1,2,3 and 4 with triplets.) How do I do this? Anyone?

Made it to the list the first time, as far as I can tell.

Well, I did that on one song, and I think what I did was to insert several bars at 6/8 time, with a slightly lower bpm. I think it was 4/4@180 bpm, and then for the triplets I switched to 6/8 at about 166 bpm. Sorry, OS 9 is still my main OS, otherwise I'd just open Doggiebox and check what I did for you, but I definitely know it was along those lines.

Try using your Apple Key to open or expand the number of divisions for each count. Apple Key hit at the same time as the minus "-" key will reduce the number of divisions of a count by 1 (the default 4/4 bar shows 2 divisions per count, or 8th notes). If you use this key combination it will take the bar down to showing only quarter notes. Original 4/4 Bar | | | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 4/4 Bar after Apple Key Minus | | | | 1 2 3 4 Apple Key hit at the same time as the "=" sign will do the opposet. This is what you will do to expose the triplets (three divisions per count). 4/4 Bar after Apple Key "=" sign | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 These options are available in the "Pattern" menu as 'Expand' and 'Collapse'. Note that this will open ALL bars at once which may disorient you if you have a lot of bars in your song. You can Expand and Collapse the bars adding triplets or whatever -what ever you enter will be 'remembered' even if it cannot be displayed (i.e. a bar of triplets will be entierly displayed if you only have 8th note exposed). Maybe this could be added to the to-do list (maybe it is?) - the ability to select between expanding or collapsing individual bars OR as well as all bars.
