I am trying to use whole notes as the equivalent time filling a measure in non 4/4 time signatures. (5/4, 9/8, even 3/4, etc. would be 5 quarter notes, 9 eighth notes, etc.)
Although I have looked, I cannot seem to find any documentation stating there is a way to do this, nor documentation saying it is not supported. Is such a thing possible? |
It doesn't appear to be possible, since the durations of notes and rests are fixed . . .
THOUGHTS The best way to determine the answers to questions like these is to do some experiments . . . In this experiment, the key bit of information is the way the whole rest turns red in the 7/8 measure . . . Additionally, the quarter notes in the first two measures do not turn red . . . This indicates that the values for the notes and rests are fixed and do not self-adjust to the time signature . . . I think this is more of a "music theory" matter, so it probably is not explained in the NOTION user guide, hence the strategy of doing experiments . . . Lots of FUN! P. S. My perspective on "music theory" is that it's practitioners continue to be grappling with the work of Sir Isaac Newton and have not wandered even for a tiny moment into Albert Einstein's work . . .

Oops! I am very sorry. I idiotically misread the question.
Again my apologies. I need to read closer and make sure I'm understanding what is being asked before making the wrong statements. Yes ties seems to be the only way I find in odd meter. Sorry about that. ,Newberry
