I agree; and also have true 6/8 styles that support it. Many (usually slower) 6/8 songs also change chords within the eighth not division, so you can't properly enter the chords for 6/8 unless you use two 3/4 bars to represent it, and that doesn't always sound right.

It would also allow for better processing of songs from MIDI or MusicXML where the original time signature was 6/8.

I realize this would break the ability of previous versions to process songs from a version that supported this, but it may be time to make that break and move forward with new features like this.

What's really needed is the ability to support 16th note divisions not just with notes, but with chords. I get that you won't be able to do a 17/16 song, but 16 chord divisions would allow support for anything up to 16.

But I would settle for 8th note chord divisions, which would in theory get us 2/2, 2/4, 2/8, 3/4, 3/8, 4/4, 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8. Having 16, however, would allow for 9/8 and 12/8, as well as the ones in between (but are rare).

It's all really just math, and I bet they could even figure out a way to even convert/modify existing MIDI styles to natively support those new time signatures.

One day, maybe...
