Thanks, Dzjang!

I've downloaded the *mgu and will take a look.

As I said earlier in the thread, I know how to access and implement the shots, holds and rests and to exclude instrument (i.e., let some play through on the normal beat; and, I surmise that pushes per se are a rhythmic element.

So far, your input, demonstrates the use of this rhythmic arrangement element in jazz composition.

I would like a clarification however (that I'll probably be able to see once I load your file). When you say "accompaniment," what are you meaning? Everything but a soloist? Or just the harmonic progression? Or?

I'm still hoping to hear from someone about pop or R'nB songs that are examples of use of pushes.

Help! I've fallen up and can't get down!
