Isn't this just 13/8? Three triplet eighth notes make a quarter note.
So it's 3+3+3+3+1 all over 8, and the notes will be written out as
four dotted quarter notes and an eighth note per measure.
And if you divide your crochet beats in twos, they'll have to be
written out as duplets of eighth notes.
