OK, I don't know how to word it in the Subject box, but this is what I'm trying to do.

1st bar for 2 counts has Em... then for the rest of the 1st bar (IE, for the remaining 2 counts) it has Dm... meaning sustain the Em for 2 counts, the sustain the Dm for 2 counts, now the problem here is I have a 2 bar intro, the 1st bar has those sustained chords, but I want to be able to keep the Dm sustained throughout the 2nd bar but start the drum fill too, now, here's the dilemma on the 2nd bar:-

1.....Using Dm.d will silence the chord and play the drums.
2.....Using Dm..d Will stuccato the chord and play the drums.
3.....Using Dm...d will replay the sustained chord and play the drums.

I don't want Dm to repeat after the first bar, I just want the Dm to continue being sustained into the 2nd bar and the 2nd bar would trigger the drum fill for the start of the rest of the tune.

EG
Bar 1--------------Bar 2
1----2----3----4 - 1----2----3----4
Dm...-----Em...-----Drum Fill with Em still sustained without sounding again.

Text formatting is not very good in this box, for tabulation I have to replace spaces with -.
