I posted this in the Win forum, where it was suggested I should also post it here.
This is how it works:
The triplet bar (one bar of ¾) should equal the tempo of half a bar of 4/4. In other words divide the BPM figure of the tune (e.g. 140 by 2 = 70). This should be the total “length” of the ¾ bar. Since there are 3 quarter notes to be played in the same time span two quarter notes would take, you will have to speed up the ¾ bar tempo. If you want to retain the liberty of changing the tempo of the song in question, you should change the tempo of the ¾ bar not in absolute figures, but in percentages.
The ¾ bar should be increased by 1/3 (= 33 %).
While in the “Chord sheet window” right click on the bar in question, select “Bar Settings” (F5), change “# beats this bar” to 3, in “Tempo change to” or “% change in tempo” enter the result of the above calculation. Also select an appropriate waltz style. NB: For the remainder of this bar, which will become the next bar if the triplet is in the first half of the original 4/4 bar (or the other way around if the triplet occurs in the second half of the original 4/4 bar) change the “# beats this bar” to two and change both the style and tempo back to the original style and tempo. In the bar after this change the “# beats this bar” to four.
This will also work Real Drums.
Good luck! Tonnie

Nice one Tonnie, always good to hear from you. Hope you are well.
I find that switching to a 3/4 waltz style when the overall style is 4/4 produces a less than sure-footed changeover when moving back to 4/4. I stick to the same 4/4 style but change the bar length and tempo as you directed. Then I alter the bass by assigning a hold for two beats and a shot for 1 beat in order to get rid of the 4/4 eighth note feel and make it sound like a waltz. Seems to get round this problem BIAB has with 3/4 to 4/4 metre changes.
Regards
Alan
