HERE ARE SOME GRAPHICS TO GO WITH MY FIRST POST

Example #2 at the link in my ORIGINAL post, only had a single instrument.

If you have more than one instrument as well as drums, then each of those instruments and the drums needs to be set to a time-base setting of 'halftime'.

NOTE: Make sure that you save your file with a NEW NAME. It's always best to keep the original so that it's possible to return to it.

1. Firstly set the tempo to double (say from 65 to 130).

2. IMAGE 1 below shows how to set the time-base for Realtrack #2452 String Quartet in the style I'm using.

3. Do this for all the Realtracks and Realdrums in your style.

4. If you are using an existing song, it's necessary to expand the chords so that one bar of chords covers two cells on the chords sheets.

5. To do this, use "Edit | Song form | Expand chords by 2" as shown on IMAGE 2.

This expands the duration of the chords so that, at the new double-tempo speed, two chordsheet cells at 130 bpm (for example) play in the same time as one chordsheet cell at 65 bpm (for example).

Once the above steps are done, it will play properly and two chordsheet cells will represt one bar of music.

It's now possible to add 8 chords across those two cells.

Noel
