I have a song that starts with a time signature of 3/4 in 110 bpm. Then there's a quarter note triplet based section that goes like this:

123 123 123 123 123 1 | 123 123 123 123 123 1 | etc

where 123 is a full quarter note triplet.

This gives me something like 4/6?? which is not regular.

Could be represented like: 123 412 341 234 123 4 | ...

The only way I found to have this on a metronome is to do metric modulation and have a 4/4 in 165 bpm (1.333 * 110).

Is there another to represent this? What am I missing here?

EDIT: sorry if it's confusing, it's hard to explain...

Basically my bar should restart at the 17after 16 triplet notes, if you count it in quarter notes it's the 5 + 21/3

o.. o.. o.. o.. o.. o | ..o ..o ..o ..o ..o . | .o. .o. .o. .o. .o. . | o.. o.. o.. o.. o.. o

o = metronome quarter note . = triplet

How can I represent this quarter note triplet based section in a time signature, so I can have it sync with a metronome?
