Wyndham,

If you generate a chord progression for WANDERER.STY and then use the Piano Roll view to look at what's happening, it's possible to see how the notes of the chord are offset. This is in keeping with MarioD's comments above.

I've added two vertical lines in green to the image below. For vertical line #1, it can be seen the the notes are played from the lowest to the highest, very quickly one after the other. That is, a down strum.



For vertical line #2, though, the notes are played successively from highest to lowest and so is an up strum.

Since the notes in the strum are offset by only a tiny amount, when looking at this G7 chord in bar 26, the notation does not show this variation.



In Stylemaker, under the Misc. option, there there's a screen that has a button called "Guitar Macros" (see below). It would seem that these macros are how strumming might be controlled. Unfortunately, I do not know enough about Stylemaker to help with this.



The best I can suggest is that you click on the "Help" button and have a read. Then have a play around. Sooner or later, understanding will follow.

Regards,
Noel
