I posted before on how to change time signature from 4/4 to 12/8, using the "Convert Simple time to Compound Time" plugin, but this time it doesn't work properly.
I get full of "Tuplet missed from bar xx" errors, so basically, since the whole piece is in triplets, I lose time rewriting it all.
There must be a way to convert a score's time signature? Finale does it very easily...
You can certainly just change the time signature, which will leave the notes untouched but will rebar the score.
This is probably not what you want though.
Tuplets are hard to deal with in plugins, are often end up skipped. For a long time it was not possible to create tuplets in plugins, and it was not possible to change notes within tuplets.
Since this plugin generates new notes I suspect that it was just not able to deal with tuplets.
Shipping plugins very rarely get updated. They have never been very high on the development priority list.
Looking at the code I see that straightforward unnested *triplets* are handled correctly, since multiplying the duration of notes inside such a triplet gives you the duration of the same note outside the triplet.
The comments in the code say:
// Triplet quavers, crotchets and minims are handled correctly.
// Other tuplets, grace notes, unmanagable pick up bars and bars
// whose source bar does not hav a 4 in the time sig denominator
// are identified with a warning label, stating what has been missed
// and which bar it originated from.
However, the plugin DOES work, as illustrated in this trivial example. Perhaps you could show us a sib file illustrating your failure, and explain exactly what you were trying to do?
