Hi Matt, this could be handy. When you have a moment can you expand on what you do please?

Ian, I'm not sure how to say more. It's manual, not automated. I like that BIAB can sound a chord by Shift+ENTER. If you don't hear it, make sure your MIDI Piano track and MIDI Bass track are playing.

So, let's say I have a chord progression and want to consider changing a chord. I use the arrows or mouse to step through the progression one chord at a time and sound the chord with Shift+Enter. Then move to the next chord etc. Because it's MIDI, there is no mystery about what BIAB will play - I hear the real chord 'straight'.

Now, if you do want to automate this a bit, there are a few old MIDI styles that I requested and PG Music provided that hold chords while playing a beat. One is HELDBOSA.sty and another is SW44HELD.sty.

Does that help?
