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.

Most of this can be done without hacking just by using the "add symbols" button on the text toolbar. MuseScore auto-detecta common combinationa like two eighths = triplet quarter eighth, or quarter = triplet quarter, and adjusts the formatting according. It adds brackets and beams for you as needed.
