Norton Music invented EXPANDED styles that let you put up to 8 chords in a 4/4 bar.

The styles are written so that two BiaB cells in the matrix equal one measure. The styles are written so that it works out.

You can download a simple FREE EXPANDED style here:
http://www.nortonmusic.com/expanded.html -- Detailed explanations and instructions are also provided on this page.

If you like it, you can go to http://www.nortonmusic.com/styledemo.html and audition others. Just look for the word EXPANDED (in all caps).

Palpaul, yes, the only current way that I know is to use Norton's 'expanded styles', as mentioned above.

thanks for replies.
i think i may have got it wrong its possible it was beats rather than chords(memory a bit hazy). the video explains using the bar settings dialogue and was using double time and half time to manipulate.
thanks.

This is likely the link you're seeking. If it isn't, it should give you the details to do it.

Wow... that was an interesting vtdeo. I may try that "Workaround", but with a slower tempo example.

Here's what I do:

a) Assuming that the song is intended to be in 100 BPM, I set the BPM to 200.
b) Set the drum track to half the set tempo ( = the correct, intended tempo).
c) Do so also for selected other tracks, that does not necessarily have to have 8 chords per bar (bass? loops?)
d) Let the instruments that indeed will have more than 4 cords/bar remain at full tempo
e) In many cases, make a second track with the same instrument but playing half the set tempo ( = the correct, intended tempo)
f) After exporting to DAW, use the full tempo (fast) tracks only for those parts of the song that indeed use >4 chords per bar (which probably will not be all of the song, unless you are Frank Zappa or a jazz freak).
For other parts of the song, use the tracks set to half tempo.

Good luck!
