thanks fellows. But nothing works. I set up a song and just typed in a whole bunch of C chords for 8 bars. Then I highlighted the second bar and did the "2-beats" as shown above. Press 'play'....That 2nd bar did have 2 beats but the subsequent bars also all had two beats and the chords missing entirely from alternate bars. If I highlight the third bar and tell it 4 beats the song reverts to 4/4 but then there are two empty beats in bar 3 and then the 4/4 feel is 2 beats out of synch with the bar lines...

It occurs to me I could solve my problem by having the song be in 2/4 time to begin with and then entering an extra bar of 2/4 where I want it.

But the software doesnt seem to allow me to create a song in 2/4...

Wish list here I come...

Thanks for the help...
