change lenght of sign rythm back and forth inside one song

[Evil Dad]

Hello there. I need to know how can I change Sign rythm miltiple times inside one song and still be able to adjust each bloc easily inside the song editing window. for exemple :
I have a song that starts as 9/4 and I need for the chorus to switch to 4/4. So far, no problem but when I want to switch back to 9/4, it gets really hard to adjust each block because it screws everything out of line ! How do I manage that ?

Thanks.

Well first of, time-signature is actually arbitrary. No matter what time-signature you use, the output will always be the same.
So setting a time-signature, is just a visual feature, and it is mostly about 'fitting' the phrases of a melody into discreet bars.
You can learn more about time-signature influence here:

But that said, LMMS can indeed change time-signature on the fly. You do that with automation
Here i show how to shift between time-signatures on the fly:

So its done with automation (the purple-blocks)
This is how to use automation in lmms:
