I am teaching a simple little waltz to a guitar student of mine.
I would like to use the guitar track to write out a simple chordal accompaniment for her. i want the notation to show that she plucks the "A" bass string and let's it ring for the full 3 beats in the bar. Then i want to show her the little 3 note chord she will pull out of the treble strings on the other frets. BIAB will default the first sustained bass note into a 1/4 note as soon as i put in the next note.

Instead of thinking linearly or melodically i am trying to get BIAB to allow me to show the "overlapping" of notes. i can get the sound i want by going into the notation and forcing the note to play for the required amount of time. but i cannot figure out how to get the program to visually show the note.

make more sense?

is this even possible?

and your point about wrong forum is well taken. (i'm learning) i'll post it over there as well.

be well. stay warm and dry. (minus 32 outside my cabin today. but warm and toasty inside with the wood stove)
