It's a simple question with a (hopefully) simple answer. I've looked everywhere; the guide within FL Studio, the site guide (which seems to be the same exact thing as the FL guide), I've Googled for an answer, but I can't seem to find one. My question is, how do you change the time/meter of your project; I.E. 3/4ths time. Thanks in advance!

Under time signature change the value of bar from 4 to 3 (for 3/4). Also it is probably worth pointing out that the value of beat doesn't represent the lower number of a time signature, but the number of beats per bar (i.e. if you wanted x/8 you would change beat to 2 instead of 8).

Thank you, thank you! I've been needing this. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Fixed (was probably just a typo)


It's really confusing, because "Bar" stands for beats per bar, and "Beat" stands for steps per beat. I think it'd be easier if it was just "Beats" and "Steps per"

yeah I was thinking in music terms instead of FL terms :\
