Thanks! That works great, but during the "stop passage" the instruments are muted (what I did was type "G,G." to have a hit on the first beat of the measure and then a rest, and let the rest continue for that measure and the next, and on the measure after that I put in the next chord). So I guess it's muting the drums as well. Could I mute all the other instruments but the drums for that one measure? That would seem to work if I could. Then I'd have that drum lead-in!




Those period "shortcuts" aren't good for the noob.

Instead, RightClick on the chord in question and choose "Chord Settings".

Check out all the possible Rest combinations available on the lower RH side of the little window that opens. You can choose to Rest All Instruments but Drums if you like.

While you are there, take the time to check out all the other options in that window, like the ability to pick all 4 chords in a bar from right there at the top, the ability to PUSH a chord or HOLD a chord (HOLDs only supported on MIDI tracks right now, cannot Hold a RealTrack yet).
