Thanks Noel, that was a really valiant attempt!
I understand the concept.
However in practice things aren't working out as planned.

Here's what's happening:

The first bar plays, first chord on beat one, fine.

The bar starts playing faster (as we programmed it and you can hear it). Why can you hear it?
Because the organ's bass is starting to WALK!!!!!

And the first chord is playing an inversion on the 2nd beat!!!

And the chord on beat four is playing way late!

Then when the second bar plays, the walking bass stops and things slow down noticeably.

This is not a smooth transition! It sounds like the tempo is doubling for one bar and then coming back to the original
tempo (on top of the other problems).


The success of the above really does depend on style. The principle is a sound one but, in practice, there are limitations. This would be especially true if the initial tempo is one of the faster ones.

I'm curious. In the doubled time bar, did you try Bb13... and ,Ab13... or maybe Bb13.. and ,Ab13..

Might be worth a try.

Sorry it didn't solve the problem.

All the best,
Noel
