Time Signature/Pattern Length

Sun, 19 Jul 2015 17:36:21 UTC

I am making a song in pico-8 that has a section with 3/4 time. How do I do that with the pico-8 tracker? I think you would do it in Milkytracker by changing the length of the pattern. I could just have each pattern contain three beats of one measure and one beat from the next measure, but that's kind of messy and would cause a lot of redundant notes. Could I use Lua programming and the sfx api to hack around the tracker? Is there a chance we could have a feature to change the length of patterns (or at least to make them shorter)?
