I would use a shot or a hold on those one beats, but keep the drummer playing (unless you want the drummer to hit it on the beat also).

As Ray said, in each cell, put a comma in between two chords to get a chord on each beat

| Fmaj7,Em7 | Dm7,Cmaj7 | will give you a chord on each beat, but will play according to the style. So if the style has 8th or 16 notes, you potentially could get 2 8th notes or 4 16th notes on each beat. If you just want to have a chord play on each beat, then using the Rests/Shots/Holds feature, you can instead enter:

| Fmaj7..,Em7.. | Dm7..,Cmaj7.. | which will have all instruments "hit" each chord on that beat. The two dots mean that BIAB should play a "shot", or a "hit" on that chord. However, if you just want the accompaniment instruments to hit the chords, but have the drummer play through, then you can enter:

| Fmaj7..d,Em7..d | Dm7..d,Cmaj7..d | which excludes the drums from the shot.

If the chords sound too short, you can instead use a "hold", which will hold the chord the entire beat:

| Fmaj7...,Em7... | Dm7...,Cmaj7... | which will have all instruments "hit" each chord on that beat. The three dots mean that BIAB should play a "hold" on that chord. However, if you just want the accompaniment instruments to hold the chords, but have the drummer play through, then you can enter:

| Fmaj7...d,Em7...d | Dm7...d,Cmaj7...d | which excludes the drums from the hold.

Look up rests, holds, and shots in the help file or in the user manual for more information on using them.
