I should explain better.

I am not trying to force a particular 2 bar pattern to play; it's actually the only piano pattern in the style right now. It always plays.

The problem is that it may or may not play the second bar in the pattern, depending on which measure a 2 bar chord is entered on. If a one bar chord is entered, the pattern will play it's first bar, as if it were a one bar pattern, and that is what should happen, I believe. If a two bar chord is entered on the 1st, 3rd, 5th measure etc, the pattern plays as a 2 bar pattern, again as it should.

However, if a 2 bar chord is entered on the 2nd, 4th, 6th measure etc, it plays as a one bar pattern for the 1st bar in the chord and again as a one bar pattern for the second bar of the chord. It looks like this:

This chord entry:

| C ----- | ------ | C ----- | ------ |

plays like this (as expected):

| pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 2 | pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 2 |


This chord entry:

| C ----- | C ----- | ------ | C ----- | ------ |

plays like this (not as I would expect):

| pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 1 | pattern bar 1 |

Now I can add part markers somewhere before the two bar chord so that the two bar chord begins on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th measure, but it seems to be roundabout way of getting it to play correctly. Also, masks are set to 0 for this pattern.

Apparently, the first bar in a two bar pattern will play anywhere; the second bar will only play when the first bar is on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th measure. Possibly there is a reason for this, but I can't find any reference to it.
