I'm just beginning to explore using 3/4 signature styles.

It appears I don't have to individually change each bar to 3/4, the style just organises the song into 3/4?

But what happens when I want to change the chord during the bar? It still shows the bar split into two, within each of which you can as usual create two chords using a comma, splitting the bar into two/four.

But what if I want to change the chord on beat three within the bar?

Thanks for your help.

Hi digihound,

Your post inspired me to play around with one of the 3/4 time signatures. Using C_GT_WLZ.STY, I typed in C,F C,F to see what happens. The first three chords played on beats 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The F chord did not play. It would seem that the mid-bar-position chord (beat 3) in 4/4 is the final chord in a 3/4 bar.

Regards,
Noel

I don't write a lot in 3/4, but did you try it? In the styles I use, beat one is at the beginning, beat two is after a comma in the first cell, and beat three is the second cell. You just ignore the right-hand half of the second cell, what would have been beat four.

Matt is right. I have a few 3/4 songs and that is how they work.

Thanks,

I seem to be finding more and more of the backing tracks I want to create are 3/4.

Noel 96, I had the same experience as you, the last chord didn't play. That's what confused me.

Matt, I did try it (with a folk song with about 15 verses!), but couldn't stand far enough back to discern the structure.

I wonder if it would be too difficult for PG to modify the structure so that it reorganised with 3/4 time?

I'll try the suggestions forum.

Thanks both for your help.
