John, the math makes perfect sense, but what I am trying to figure out is how to program it in the chord chart using the ^ marks to push or pull or whatever it's called here. I am not doing real time notation or playing it real time. It would seem that the middle figure, the one on 2 +, is the only one I need to mess with. One is on one and 4 is on 4, but that one on the AND after 2 I can't get to center. I don't know how to tell the chord chart to play off the beat but a full half beat. Do I put the chord in on 3 and pull it forward with ^, ^^, or ^^^, or ^^^^ ....? (Which brings up the question of how far each ^ pulls the note. And why we can only use 2 of them.)

Got to be a way.

If you listen to Gary Moore's Power Of The Blues and listen to the pickup, THAT is what I am trying to achieve. Or Patty Loveless You Can Feel Bad. Same exact pickup.

A figure on ONE, another on TWO AND, and another on FOUR. I have tried every combination of notation shorthand I can think of and can't make that play exactly in time.
