Dave, if we could do both a pull and a push, it would go a long way toward what Ray correctly identified as the problem. Even then, as far as 4 chords being enough per bar, here is a simple but common pattern I wish I could do with chords:

4 eighth notes in a row, an eighth rest, an eighth note, an eighth rest, and an eighth note. There could be a measure rest following, or a shot on beat one of the next bar. It's a common pattern that we can't do now, and even if we could, requires more than 4 chords per bar. Just one of many possible examples.
