Peter,

(looking forward to those strings!)

I often make an extra copy of a song and set all the chords to held chords for a big electric guitar "hit and hold" at each chord. Hadn't thought about using it for a simple bass like you did (so thanks! for that idea!!)...

To accomplish the change, I use the chord replace function:

* replaced with *... gets the majors
*m replaced with *m... gets minors
*m7 replaced with *m7...

etc., etc.

Is there an easier way to do this globally? Wondered that each time I've done it. A simple song goes fairly quickly, but anything elaborate... there's not a "Set All Chords To Held" button is there?
