Trevor,
Did you try it with midi styles, too?
Regards,
Noel
Hi Noel
The behavior was the same with MIDI
I had a plain C chord on bar 1 & 5
I selected Chord Settings
Select Eighth notes on A for 2 bars
The Chord chart showed C/A(P2)
The MIDI data showed 8th notes on A for 2 bars (well, almost 8th notes for 2 bars - it adds a 16th on the last beat), then A notes but on different octaves for the next 2 bars, then a C chord bass line. So the behavior is the same as the real tracks.
John made a good point about the behavior.
But what's missing is that the chord settings window simply don't say what happens next...
The Help wording is vague also:
You can set the bass part to play a pedal bass at any bar for a range of bars. For example, you could set the bass to pedal on a G note, on beats 2 and 4, throughout a chord progression for 4 bars, i.e., C6 | Ebdim | Dm7 |G7. This is useful for intros, interludes, and endings of choruses.
