Right now that bar says

D,^^A7 | A/B A/C# | (and then on to {D | D } and so on.....)

Beats 3 and 4 are fine as quarter notes. What I need is a QUICK hit on that first D and a strongly anticipated AND after the D into the A7. What is more critical and my real problem is that the A7 from the anticipation to the end of 2 AND be TIED and not strummed.

This is why I have been asking if someone would listen to a sound clip of me playing it on guitar, because that text explanation is hard for ME to follow and I was the one who wrote it.....

And see, here is the terminology thing. The ^ symbol PULLS the chord, not pushes it. Push would seem, to me anyway, to mean "move it further from where it should be". I am looking for "PULL" meaning "pull it forward". So now I am past the fact that what the software calls push I call pull. I just need to get it to do it how I need it, i.e. tied notes. That is what I don't think BIAB can do, though I have not yet tried Jim's notation and he showed me how to manipulate a measure to tie notes. In this particular song, I need this heavy anticipated timing in like 11 or 12 places. It's a bouncy country shuffle and this timing is the leading measure to the second half of the verses, the bridge, the solo, and the choruses.
