Okay, this question might be difficult to explain in words, but I'll try.
Say you're playing along with a steady beat on a metronome as if it were a 4/4 beat.
Then you start playing along with that same beat, but now with 3/4 triplet feel.
Then you go back to the 4/4 feel.
Then maybe you play the notes faster, giving the clicks on the metronome a 6/8 feel...
You never touch the metronome, you just go from treating notes in the beat from a 4/4 rhythm to a 3/4 rhythm, or vice versa.
I hear it all the time in songs, but is there a name for that in music theory or something?
Is there a way to figure out the 3/4 value of a 4/4 beat, say at a tempo of 120 beats per minute? Is the answer just simple division, then? LOL
If this doesn't make sense, then never mind this post, haha. It's not a big deal, I was just curious.
