I expand the song to one chorus and place the chords where they need to be to accomplish the turn around using copy and paste.

for the 2 beat stop... use the PG commands

C. for a rest

C.. chord shot

C... held chord

change C to whatever chord you want.

you can also do this

C.bd which rests everything EXCEPT the bass and drums

you can also accomplish the silence for 2 beats with editing and envelopes.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
