I using a style that has a 12/8 time signature. I'm no music theory expert, but I know that this can be counted in 4 via 4 dotted quarter notes per bar. I want to use a song that's in 6/8 time for the melody. Here's my questions:

1. I don't think that I can input the song in 6/8 so I've tried to enter it in 12/8. Will this work, theoretically?

2. Would I also be able to convert the song manually into 4/4 time and have it work also?

There are lots of ties over 2 bars in 6/8.

Thanks for any help

I'm also wondering why PG Music put the 2 march styles they have in 12/8 and 12/16 time rather than in either 2/4 or cut time????
