I can set it to > anything from 1 to 8; the pattern is always one 4/4 measure. If you choose 6 you will only have 3 beats per measure. The 4th beat will be greyed out. If you choose 4 there will be 2 beats per measure, the 3rd and 4th will be greyed out. If you choose 2 there will be 1 beat per measure, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will be greyed out. If you play the pattern the greyed out beats are not played. > > Furthermore, the help says this: > "The combobox "Grid Resolution" will modify the resolution so to help > adding notes: it's possible to set grid for 4,8, 16, 32, 64 beats per > bar and their 'three beats' bars indicated as 4T, 8T, 16T and 32T.

The way it reads, I would need to use > the drop down on the LEFT (the Grid Resolution) to get 3/4 time (or a > "three beats" bar, using their language). That creates the note separation. 4 means quarter notes, 8 is eighth notes, etc. 4T is quarter note triplets, 8T is eighth note triplets, etc... If that doesn't help you then you could try using rosegarden and editing midi drum tracks.
