For example: \|C _ _ _\|F Em Dm C\| SO far I can enter only two chords in one bar: \|F Dm \| I also would like to do syncopated chords: \|F _ 0/Dm _ \| Thanks in advance. :-) Last edited by milianpa; 10/25/09 06:44 PM.

For example, entering F (space),Dm will put the F chord on beat 1 and the Dm chord on beat 4. If one enters F (space),^Dm then F is beat 1 and Dm is beat 3.5 (i.e. Dm is "pushed" so that it's played an 1/8th beat before beat 4). From my limited experience with pushes, their effectiveness seems to be style dependent. Regards, Noel

In other words, say a measure of [ C - F - Dm - (G# - G) ] , with two quick chord changes on beat four corresponding to the last two eighth-note beats in the measure ? I've had instances where I wanted to do something like this but didn't see a way to accomplish the task. Terry BIAB/RB 2018 PlusPak.

So using your example, [ C F Dm - (G# - G) ], as long as the next bar stars with a G, you can enter the first 4 chords on beats 1, 2, 3, 4, and then in the next bar, enter the G as ^G (which is a push to move it back 1/8th beat, effectively making it the "and" of beat 4 on the previous bar. That's a lot of words, but hopefully that made sense. Otherwise, you can't really do 8th note chord changes... ...except... Norton Music has a number of "expanded styles" that basically let you use 2 bars to represent 1 bar. That gives you 8th note resolution. Your notation won't look right, but it will sound right.
