Yes, I must be misunderstanding pattern length, but you guys are
misunderstanding my post as well. I would clarify now, but I'm not at
that machine right now.
I think perhaps the version of hydrogen I'm using might be having some
kind of problem, since the pattern length dropdown doesn't actually
change the pattern length...

Huh? A pattern length of 6 means 3/4 time? Why?
I'm trying to write a drum part in hydrogen,
but it needs to be in 3/4
time. I see no way to do that in version 0.9.1. The forums at
www.hydrogen-music.org recommend changin the "pattern length" to
achieve deifferent time signatures, but doing so doesn't have any
affect.
After selecting the patern you are working on, click on the right hand
drop down in the patern editor pane. Select 6. This should put you
in 3/4 time. You will see the 4th beat greyed out and if you play the
pattern it won't play that beat...you'll see.

did work, I would have to triple my tempo, right?
No. Your BPM is your BPM whether there are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or
whatever beats per measure.
The
tempo control, besides disallowing manual entry
and requiring you to
use the spin button (yuck), only goes up to 300. Since the song is in
112, I would need it to go up to 336, right? Or do I misunderstand
what patttern length means?
There is some sort of misunderstanding going on.
