Thanks a lot for your great workarounds.

That said, BIAB really should have a simple way to add more chords than the number of beats per measure, without having to buy third party expanded styles, not complex workarounds.i have put such a request in the wish list.

i agree with someone else who wrote something to the effect that--PG Music should not only concentrate on new RTs and RDs, and new features to add on, but to fix some of the basic long-term problems with the app. For instance, this one. BIAB has been around for decades. (I was using it back in the early DOS versions.) Why can one not have more chords than the number of beats per measure yet? Why still the problems with ASIO? Etc., etc.

But yes, thank you for the workarounds. Good ideas. I'll try it.

More chords in one bar part II (This time 4 chords in a ¾ style)

Last week miaki posted a question of how to get more than 4 chord in one 4/4 bar.
I suggested that in case of a quarter note triplet chord movement, one could split a 4/4 bar in to one 2/4 bar and one ¾ bar, adjust the tempo of the ¾ bar, so that 3/4 equals the 2/4 bar, tempo-wise. (See post #262295)

The equivalent would be in case of a “quadruple” (4 quarter note chords) into one ¾ bar. E.g. bar 3 in “Moon Rover” in C, the bar could hold 4 equal length #5 chords (B7#5, A7#5, G7#5, F7#5) into that one bar, by changing that bar to a 4/4 bar. Again one has to change the tempo, so that these one 4/4 beat bar equals the ¾ bars tempo-wise.

Now with the possibility to freeze tracks, one could adjust the accompanying instrument tracks, to avoid unwanted side effects of the change of number of beats.

Good luck,
Tonnie

Norton Music offers expanded styles (style disk #17) that are worthwhile for none jazz styles.
However he does not yet offer any jazz styles, nor do his styles offer the quarter note triplet in 4/4, or the above quadruple in ¾ styles. Perhaps he can find time to have a new look at this in the near future.
