Hi zonno,

Technically, it can be done. How it will sound when the song is generated, though, is another thing altogether; it may or may not work.

How to do this is to use a variation of a principle that Bruce B and Tonnie recently made me aware of. (Here's a link to Bruce's post for reference.)

Using Bruce/Tonnie's principle, two bars are made to do the work of a single bar. Here's one approach ...

Using "Bar Settings", set the first bar to a time signature of 3/4 and leave the tempo as is. Now set the second bar to 2/4. Because the second bar needs to play in the time of a quarter note, it's tempo needs to be doubled (increased by 100%). Doing this, two bars can be used to accomplish what one bar normally does.

On chord 3 of the 3/4 bar, use a push to get the Ab9 chord. The 2/4 bar will now have two chord positions. On the second beat in the 2/4 bar put the G7(b5). Since this second bar is played at double the speed, the second beat will play in the speed of an 1/8th note.

Theoretically this will do the job. As I said, though, I have no idea how it will sound. I suspect that that will depend on the style. I also suspect that it will work better with midi styles than Realtrack styles.

Hope this helps,
Noel

P.S. After the 2/4 bar, you'll need to return the song to its original tempo. To do this, use the "Bar Settings" again and set the tempo and set the time signature back to 4/4.
