I've used poedit, it's the first translation I've done. I wasn't aware 
of that, but I understand the problem and I'll try to avoid it next time. :)

7/8 normally consists of 3 taps, 2+2+3 halfs of a quarter note, but 
could also be measured differently. I know this is a feature of modern 
metronomes but I haven't tested one myself to know how they handle it. 
It would be a great feature for musicians that sooner or later have to 
practise with this beats. Equally, 5/8 could be 2+3, but also 3+2. There 
are other beats like this.

Maybe the easiest way to implement this would be to add an option to 
alter up or down the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th time by a half of the time 
unit. I don't know if that would be the best way though. I'll try to 
find out how electronic metronomes do that.

Thanks for your work.
Regards.
