Support replied that for 2/4 endings only the first two beats of a 4/4 ending are used. This means some endings do not properly resolve.

The first two beats of a 4-beat bar are hardly ever likely to resolve a musical pattern. Perhaps they could use the last two beats?

MarioD Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 21,102 Hamlin NY	Originally Posted By: MarioD +1 I've been thinking about this and wouldn't it be nice to select either the first two beats, the last two beats, and maybe even the 2-3 beats of a measure anywhere in the song? Maybe that could be incorporated in the F5 menu? I could see this being used at the end of a verse, chorus, bridge, etc. Just a thought.

Matt Finley Veteran Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 25,983 Hudson Valley & Lake George NY	Mario, when I read the problem, I started thinking about songs in 2/4 or 3/4 and how the endings should be. I like your idea of being able to choose! That’s always a good idea. We would not want to see something that would always ignore the first beat, since that might be as simple as a held chord used as an ending. So, choice is good. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
