When I woke up this morning, I was thinking about this some more and one of the things I realized was that I could have used ALT+F5 to make the edits to my chords, shots, holds, and rests, instead of typing them in each time with the dots and commas. That would have been easier for all the changes I was making to my experimental song.

The other thing I was thinking about, is based on Ray's reply about using an anticipation in the last measure. I had an new idea about what you were looking for, and I wanted to try to create that effect.

One thing I tried was to get rid of the last chord in my fast measure, and put an anticipation in the last measure. That did not work because I got silence on the third beat of the fast measure. So, I found that I need to create that antication by just putting the last chord at the end of the fast measure. If that chord is to be held then it sounds fine, otherwise the chord is repeated on the first beat of the last measure.

I hope this helps. If not, it was a fun experiment. I learn a lot by trying to solve the problems I find here on the forum!
