Hi Notes,
Another great reply and very helpful. Yes, I do understand now. Some time back I had written some notation in BiaB (I'm not that keen on it either but it was handy) and all worked fine. The style under which I'd written the notation was an even style.

Then I tried my melody with a different style, but this time I had chosen a swing style. I noticed the the melody sounded OK under the new style. So I looked at the notation and saw that BiaB had modified the notation with triplets in order to make my melody 'swung'.

By the way, you are flying at a much much higher level than me but its really good to hear your techniques. I took me a long time to grasp what this C7 chord meant. It was fantastic to feel that I understood it. Once I thought I had grasped it from the style patterns being in C7 I was over the moon, especially after confirming it with a few other styles. I was so disappointed when two of the styles I looked at did not follow the C7 chord at all. But the border around those patterns was red and I felt that was something to do with, but I still don't know.

Also, you mention using C7 with drums. I'm lost there though because notes for the drums don't have the same function with regard to the chord sheet.

Thanks again


Jonel
