Cat Morcan welcome to the community and thanks for your feedback! Quarter note triplets have been on my personal list for awhile but I hadn't added them here, so thanks for adding this in!
For now, you'll notate quarter note triplets using 8th note triplet rhythms as per the following screenshot. They are notated as 8th note triplets, but the rhythm is the same.
In a future update, Beat Note will automatically notate these as quarter note triplets so you wouldn't have to do anything special, BN would do it magically for you.
The notation aspects in BN are quite complicated so I'm not sure when I'll be able to add this in. I'll mark this as planned and will get to it eventually! Moving as quickly as I can through all of the various requests. 👍🏻 Thanks for supporting Beat Note! Best, Derek

Hi Cat Morcan,
I’ve been thinking about quarter note triplets as well. I’ve just ran into some of them with my students.
How would you be using them?
Regarding ghost notes on toms. Where have you been seeing these?
Good to meet you and thank you for the feedback.

I like to transcribe pop songs,
I’ve had some quarter note triplet tom fills in these songs.
As per the toms, I guess it would be more of a creative thing. It’s not super necessary honestly just a thought.

That makes perfect sense regarding Tom fills. Let’s see what Derek Lee has to say.
As for ghost notes on toms. I was just curious as to where you had seen it. I personally have not seen that notated before. Was this just more of an idea you had?

Yes I think it was just an idea for like intricate fills and translating electronic music to a kit.
Although think I can make what I need using accents.

Cat Morcan Re: ghost notes on toms - I haven't seen ghost notes on toms, and my goal with Beat Note is to ensure adherence to modern standard drumset music notation. Additionally, I'd like Beat Note to be able to help facilitate (e.g. guide us in moving forward) on a standard for drumset music notation so we can hopefully all agree on what "standard" means. For this reason I'm going to hold off on ghost notes on the toms, but it can always be considered in the future. Thanks!
