Frank, deductions is a good word to use. Every statement I make should be considered a deduction or assumtion and not a fact.

It SHOULD be easy to add blank measures in UT but, in practice such is not the case. You can record one or more blank bars then use the sgu file to label the blank bars a chord name you will never use. But, what happens when the UT is transposed? What happens when you write a chord that is not in your UT and the program searches the UT sgu for a replacement chord? Part of the learning process is figuring out what the program needs, expects and how it will use what it is given to work with.

Normally, shots, holds and rests are treated as special cases and contained in a separate file. I'm reasonably sure such is the case with UT but I haven't run across a template for this yet.
