The way that grid works is, there's a number of dots per beat, and you can go further up and get 1 dot per 2 beats. So it really goes like this: 4 dots per beat (1/4), 3 dots per beat (1/3), 2 dots per beat (1/2), 1 dot per beat (1), 1 dot per 2 beats (2), etc.
But the display is based on a 4-beat bar. So: 4 dots per beat (1/16), 3 dots per beat (1/12), 2 dots per beat (1/8), 1 dot per beat (1/4), 1 dot per 2 beats (1/2), 1 dot per 4 beats (1), etc.
This is kind of confusing to me, as you can change how many beats are per bar for an instrument and then those 1/8 and 1/2 don't relate to that instrument any more.
Does music assume 4 beats in a bar to name units of time as well or something? I feel like my examples at the top would make more universal sense, but I'm not trained in music theory or anything.
