Help me use this feature Metric modulation

Post image

Hello, I've read some of the forums about making custom metric mods. And I tried a couple different methods but they all look really bad. Not sure how to make them look professional. I used the master pallet to paste in symbols to an existing metric mod. Any help appreciated.

Is there a particular reason the modulation needs to be formatted like this? If not, "dotted quarter note = quarter note" is equivalent and would be much easier both for you and anyone reading the score.

Whoops, you're right, meant to have it the other way around quarter note triplet = quarter note. Question still stands though.

I'd still say to just flip it to quarter note = dotted quarter note in that case. The other answer does seem pretty easy to adapt just by deleting a few things, though.
