I have looked everywhere trying to find out how to move all entered chords forward one place. Sometimes I need to go back and add a missed chord somewhere and don't want to have to delete and re-enter everything. Has anyone found any info on this.

Hi asteeler,

Welcome to the forums

If you wanted to advance the chords by a whole bar, you could insert a bar at the location where you wanted to move them forward. The Edit menu contains this option.

Regards,
Noel

1) Highlight the bar on the chord grid where you need to place the new empty bar.

2) File -> Insert Bars and be sure that "1" is entered.

3) Hit Okay

You should now have an empty bar inserted at the highlighted bar point and all other chords "moved forward" by one bar.

Are you using a midi file as a melody? I usually import a midi file, then enter my chords around it. Sometimes I miss a bar, (or cut and paste incorrectly). If you have a melody track laid out and you have a missing bar somewhere, you can copy and paste the chord structure one whole measure to the correct position, then enter the chords you need in the original bar. If you insert a bar, you also create an additional bar in the melody.
But if you are creating the melody as you go, I guess using the insert bar function is your best bet.

If you are trying to move the chords by say 1 or 2 beats then from the Menu bar select Edit --> Nudge Chords/Melody and there are many options in the dialog to move the chords by a specified number of beats.
