Feature suggestion.

2001-10-28 by nifflas@musician.org

I don't like that the patterns is limited to 4/4.

Right now I'm working on a song that goes in 5/4, and it works since 
i can "cheat" using a pattern lenght of 5 bars (which can be used as 
4 bars of 5/4).

but what if I want to do a song in 9/4, or some really complex sort 
of rhythm?

It can easily be set to 5/4 time by going into PATTERN and scroling 
to the screen that is dedicated to METER METRONOME VALUE and changing 
the meter to 5/4.

there ya go

The're not.  You can pick any meter from 1/1 to 99/32!  Try the third screen
in the Pattern menu...
