Hi Harpo,
You can only have one chord per beat. Since you want two chords per beat during the last half of one measure, you might want to try this work-around. Instead of one 4/4 bar, write the first half of the measure as a 2/4 bar in the regular tempo. Then, write the second half of the bar as one measure of 4/4 set to twice the tempo of the song. In the double-speed measure, start with a rest, and then make the three chords either shots or holds.
I did not hear when this occurs in "Feel Like Making Love", but I experimented with this work-around in a variety of styles ands sometimes it sounds really good. I had it looping the whole time I was typing this.
Here is the step-by-step process of how I simulated having one measure end with three chords as eighth note pick-ups to the next measure: 1. Use F5 to set the measure to 2 beats. 2. Use F5 in the next measure to set it to 4 beats, and set the tempo to twice that of the rest of the song. 3. Type in the rest and the first chord. My expirimental song was in C, an the 3 eighth note pick-up chords were Dm, G7, Bdim. I decided to not have the bass and drums rest, so this is how I typed in the first half of the fast measure: C.bd,Dm.. And this is how I typed in the second half of the fast measure: G7..,Bdim.. 4. Use F5 in the following measure to set the tempo back to the normal tempo.
Hope this helps, Jim
BTW: Using the ^ symbol to push the chord moves it ahead of the beat (anticipation), not to the 'and' of the beat.
