A while back (2012?) I posted an option to enter 3 chords (instead of 2) over two beats. So that one could enter quarter triplet chords in half a 4/4 bar. This involved splitting this bar into two parts; one into a ¾ (waltz) and the other half in 2/4. In addition, one had to make a calculation and alter the number of BPM for the ¾ bar and back to normal for the 2/4 bar. In other words, a lot of work.
Now I have tested the new Micro Chords feature, and it can do the same thing in a much simpler way.
1) Enter “M” on the first beat of the bar that needs fixing.
2) In the Set Micro Chords for Bar ..(that pops up) and select triplets
3) enter e.g. Cmaj7 in the very first Chord Window (Beat 1)
4) Then enter e.g. Dm7 into the 1st. Chord Window of beat three
5) Now enter e.g. Em7 into the 2nd. Chord Window of beat three
6) Finally enter Fmaj7 into the 2nd. Chord Windoo of beat four
7) Then enter Cmaj7 on the first beat of the next bar
When pressing “Regenerate And Play” you should hear a quarter triplet of Dm7, Em7 and Fmaj7 on the second half of the bar you just “fixed”.
Brgds,
Tonnie

That sounds good. Can you make a video to show it.

Thank you. I watched this video and learned a lot. I'm going to watch it a few more times today. This topic discussion is also very interesting. I also hope to make a video, which is more intuitive. Mainly my English is not good, I can only rely on translation. ha-ha

There are of course many other chord progressions, that lend themselves to the use of this quarter note triplet movement. The below examples are all in the key of C, but can of course be used in any key. The 3 chords separated by commas is where the quarter note triplet should be.
| Dm7 / Dm7, D#m7, Em7 | Fm7 / Bb7 / |
| C7 / C7, B7, Bb7 | A7 /// |
| F#m7b5 B7 F#m7b5, Fm7b5, Em7b5 | Em7b5 / A7 / |
There are of course many more possibilities.
