First, it depends on the instrument. Second, it depends on the style. Third, it depends on whether you are using MIDI or RealTracks.

In the jazz songs I write, I would absolutely not write the same chord again in the next measure, because the algorithm used for RealTracks selects phrases between one and (I think) eight bars; the longer the phrase, the smoother it sounds, particularly better for the voice leading.

So, can you elaborate, please?
