...Another thing I'll try for the C Quartal chord is Fsus/C. I'm a piano/keyboard player and I'm using BIAB for the guitar and other instruments. Having BIAB play the Fsus/C and comping the 'correct' voicing on my piano will probably give, more-or-less, the austere sound that particular chord creates.

BIAB is a pretty amazing program.

Thanks guys.

When using BB as virtual jazz combo backing my piano playing, I have also found that sometimes the best thing to do about use of Quartal in that instance is to not be so concerned with having the virtual guitar player sound the quartal along with me. Just playing the Quartal on the piano keyboard myself while the auto-accompaniment is told to play a more basic chord often works well. And, since I play both keyboard and guitar, it has been my experience that this is often the case in live playing environments as well, the guitarist will comp the base chord or a derivative thereof while I play the Quartal on the piano.

Sometimes I even use the F5 command to Mute the guitar at that bar, as well, if what it plays is clashing. (I use the F5 mute on jazz guitar accompaniments quite a lot to yield the idea that the guitar comp is "sitting out" for a bar or phrase, something I wish more live guitarists today would try...).

Just another thing to keep in mind, works in some cases.
