Bars, Stretching and Time Signatures

Hello! I'm experiencing an issue in Magix Music Maker 2025 Premium that I do not know how to solve. I'm hoping someone here has some insight. Here's what's happening:

I work primarily in MIDI. I don't generally use loops or do recordings. I've just started a new project which I need to be in 3:4 time. I know to go to Settings > Project Settings and change the Time Signature there. This has the desired effect of setting the beat to 123. The problem is that when I create a new MIDI object, it always creates the bar as a 4:4 object (1234... or more precisely, 1231 instead of 123). This greatly hampers my ability to repeat that bar using the stretch method.

Does anyone have any idea how to correct this, or should this be an enhancement request to Magix?

I believe I've found the answer! When creating a bar, right click the bar and click 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘯/𝘰𝘧𝘧 to toggle the setting off. Size the bar to the desired repeat factor (1 bar, 2 bars, 3 bars, etc), then click 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘯/𝘰𝘧𝘧 again to toggle it back on. Problem solved!
