Only way I know how to do this is create a chord window with the chord changes, save it, convert the guitar and piano to audio, import it to the audio track. Then re-create that same chord window with piano and guitar muted and held chords where I want them for bass, synth, string. Then I import both chord grids or portions of them into RealBand and go from there.


I was thinking that you could do holds already in BB by simply typing the command into the bar.

A. is a rest on the A chord
A.. is an A chord shot
A... is an A chord hold

You can also do this

A.bd rest on all instruments except bass and drums

A...p held A chord for all instruments except the piano

A...bp held A chord for all instruments except the piano and the bass


Use these commands and avoid all that running around. I'm not sure how they work across multiple bars.... but give it a try and see how it works.
