Greetings all. I am new here.

I am creating a style and I have a 2 measure (8 beat) piano pattern. I am finding that the pattern
needs to start on an odd numbered measure in order to play as it was set up in the pattern editor.
If a new chord change begins on an even numbered measure, the pattern begins playing on that even
numbered measured and then begins again on the very next measure. So if it begins on an odd numbered
measure, it plays as a two bar pattern. But if it starts on an even numbered measure, it plays as a
one bar pattern for that measure and then plays as a two bar pattern beginning with the next measure.

Does a two bar pattern always align itself with odd/even measure pairs, for example measures 1 and 2,
measures 3 and 4, measures 7 and 8, etc?

Or is there a way to force the pattern to begin with a chord change regardless of the chord change position?
