If that doesn't help you then you could try using
rosegarden and
editing midi drum tracks.
I think this is the problem: after selecting File/New, I see this in
the terminal where I started hydrogen:
[INFO] SongReader [readSong]
/usr/share/hydrogen/data/DefaultSong.h2song
[WARNING] SongReader [readSong] Trying to load a song
created with a different version of hydrogen.
[WARNING] SongReader [readSong] Song
[/usr/share/hydrogen/data/DefaultSong.h2song] saved with version 0.9.0
After that, the pattern length drop down doesn't function; it does not
change the pattern length. If I try it before doing anything else, it
does work as you describe.
The documentation is confusing because to me, a "bar" is a measure.
In my mind, 1 bar = 1 measure = 1 pattern. In hydrogen, a bar is a
beat, so 1 measure in 3/4 time = 3 bars.
Perhaps I should file a bug report about the non-functioning drop down...
