Eddie,

Did you get a chance to try my suggestions? From your descriptions, I still think this is pretty close to what you are looking for. The one thing I can't do is make the anticipation greater than half a beat. (Or a third of a beat in swing.)

Take a look at the "shots/holds/pushes" help topic. You can set these with the chord options dialog (right-click on the measure), or by typing in the codes. The help topic tells you how to determine if a particular real track has these options.

Beat 1: What BiaB calls a "shot". A short duration chord. I tried this, and, in the style I chose, it did not seem louder like an accent -- It was just short.

Beat 2: You need what BiaB calls a "push" (An anticipitation), plus you need a hold, which stops the strumming and just plays the chord. You can choose which instruments should play as normal without holding the chord. (A single ^ is a stronger anticipation than ^^ except in a swing rhythm when they are both the same.)

Beat 3: You need to enter another chord to stop the hold. It can be the same chord as the held chord. This tells BiaB when to stop holding the previous chord and play normally.

If you want to try typing this in, try D..,^A... in the first half of the measure, and then another chord in the 2nd half. I was not sure from your example whether the A/B chord was supposed to be on beat 3, or in the next measure. No matter, just put something on beat 3, even if it is another A chord.

Note: One dot is a rest, two dots is a "shot", three is a hold.

If you wanted the the bass and drums not to do the hold then add the letters bd after the three dots, like this ^A...bd

I would not mind listening to a sound clip, but I don't think I could get much closer to what you are looking for without messy work-arounds.
