It is incredibly frustrating to spend an hour transcribing a section of a song, just to realize that it contains 32nd notes or 16th note triplets and you have to double the project BPM and start from scratch.
In addition to this there are a lot of TheoryTabs on the database that are transcribed at the wrong tempo, but it would be so tedious to transcribe the whole thing from scratch that - quite understandably - no one bothers to fix it.
So what I would absolutely love to see in Hookpad is a pair of buttons that allow you to turn this:

Yes, I’ve run into this situation several times and a halving/doubling tool would be fantastic!

Also 2/3 and 3/2. Probably not as useful for transcribing, but when writing sometimes I want to see how something sounds in 6/8 etc.

I’m fairly new to TheoryTab and I’m not sure when swing timing was introduced, but I’ve come across a number of older transcripts that are awkwardly in 6/8 but really should have swing time. Fixing them would be much easier if some kind of 2/3 and 3/2 multiplication were available. That might be tough to implement since many of the note and chord lengths aren’t multiples of 3, though.
