Hi Jim,

I inserted 8 bars at the "end" of my working frame before the "official" end to allow for this experimentation. I tried to input chords in the greyed out areas (post song end) but BB won't recognize/play anything in that area.

Of course, by reading this, you can tell I'm using a 2 bar ending. Interestingly enough, the RD for the style does play what sounds like a single bass drum/cymbal hit--to fade nicely---just what I'm after really.

So, at least "technically" this little clip is evidence that is does in fact exist in the full source audio file. I just can't seem to draw it out at will, at least with the way that I'm trying to.

Just from the chord sheet, I've also tried "forcing" a cymbal hit by placing A/B part markers in the specific bar itself...to no avail (strange)...yet I think that everywhere else there IS a part marker, BB puts an accent of some sort (usually a cymbal hit---but not an isolated one) as that bar begins to play.

*SIGH* It was getting late last night, and I believe I tried most (possibly all) chord setting options in the bar to see what it would do/sound like after regenerating.

Each iteration was not the effect I was seeking.

The results of the SHOT (even with ALL instruments) seems to be that the drums simply stop---without a discernable accent, while the other instruments do what they're supposed to.

There may be a different level of editing that is called for here (style edit?)

Finally, if I fail to tweak it in BB, one recourse I have is when I drop into my DAW, I can find that 2-bar ending cymbal hit and edit that in where I want to...and hope for the best.

Thanks for the tip,
Eric
