its molar mass is around 378 g/mol. so go with 37/8 time

this is the only correct decision and you may not choose anything else

But I need a formula to go with, and what if a compound/molecule's molar mass is, say, 273 g/mol? 571? 339?

EDIT: I'm open to trying really anything, even 37/8, but I needs a formula.

In 13 posts swimswamit has swimswum his way into my heart and it baffles me how likeable this guy is.

[InsigTurtle]

if it's 571, then go with 57/1 time. or if it's 18, then 1/8. if 339, then 33/9. each measure consists of 33 ninths of a whole note

right down to the pun

I guess you could say there's a bubbling friendship

A 2/7 song about hydrogen cyanide would be interesting to listen to

But is it notatable in Finale or elsewhere?

If there's a way I could, I would do those complex time sigs, but to my knowledge, it has to be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc., and not every molar mass can be manipulated/separated into one of those values.

Or just do a 378/4 time signature

I didn't even know there were time signatures like that. Definitely not possible in Musescore, but I don't know about Finale.

It isn't.

That seems like an unorthodox way of asserting some sort of dominance.

[Maelstrom]

It is if you use the compound time sig tool that lets you input custom values.

[Bloop]

What if your formula is:
Time signature = (a + b + c + ...)/8, where a = last (non zero) number of first atom, b = last (non zero) number of second atom, c = last (non zero) number of third atom, etc
So in your case, C₂₅H₅₀N₂
a = 5
b = 5
c = 2
Time signature = (5+5+2)/8 = 12/8
You could divide the accents like one and a two and three and a four and five and (thus keeping the 5+5+2 rhythm instead of the 3+3+3+3 rhythm)

I am confused, impressed, and loving this idea all at the same time.
