I have been trying to write some more realistic jazz double bass lines in Stylemaker but I can not make sense of the masks.

I have a base 8 beat riff C G /C G /
No mask, weight of 5
I write an 8 beat riff .... C G/C D Eb E/
with a mask of up 4th , weight 9 (always)
song is cycle of C/ /F / /Bb / /Eb / /Ab/ /Db/ /Gb/ /B/ /E/ /A etc

Works fine till Ab .... then reverts to basic riff Ab Eb/ Ab Eb/
Then works again from Gb ???????

Unless I am reading the help files wrong .... (and there ARE undocumented macro notes) ..... what is going on ????

I don't have much hair left to pull out !
