> I'm hoping to play the second chord by enter+shift. Please add this feature. Ideally, each bar can input 4 or 8 chords.
Yes, we could also add a preview in the “chord options” and the “MicroChords” dialogs. Then you could preview any of the 16 chords per bar that can be entered.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm not quite right. (My English is not good, so I use translation software)
Although the microchord function is definitely good. But I'm not using microchords. What I mean is that you can type more chords directly into each bar. Now you can only enter two chords per bar, or four if you use a comma. But I can't play the second and fourth chords by enter+shift. I want to be able to type 8 or 16 chords into the bar, and both of them can be played by enter+shift.

Hello, boss. I read your response carefully again. Do you mean to add previews to "chord options" and "Microchord"? That's not what I meant.
I often use the mouse to click on a chord and then shift+enter to play the chord for a feel. But because the second and fourth chords in each bar of BIAB cannot be played using shift+enter. This kind of play, I need to operate in the interface.
If you have to go to the "Chord Options" and "Microchord" dialog boxes, the mouse won't be able to click on each chord in each bar.
Let me give you an example. Let's say I put 1,2,3,4
But I can't mouse 2 and 4, so I can't play with shift+enter. If shift+enter is used, only 1,3 is heard
I want 1, 2, 3, and 4 to be separate and separate in bar. Even separate input 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
I think Peter Gannon's "preview" is his way of saying "plays the chord", so I think he does mean what I also think you mean.
I guess you know that you can play from the selected bar by pressing the "space" bar. That will play the music in context, rather than just the chord, so it is different from what you ask, but it will play all the chords.

hi.
I want to play each chord by myself with shift+enter in bar.
That would be nice. You’ve done a good job bringing this idea to everyone’s attention. Although I gave a workaround, the ability to preview any chord in any position is important and there is work still to do to make microchords more intuitive.

To play each chord more conveniently. Use shift+enter
Here is a shortcut key combination that you can use to play any of the 4 beats in a bar.
Hold down ALT, then press F5, followed by the beat that you want to play (e.g. 2 for the second beat in the bar, followed by w (still holding down Alt)
F5 <beatnum> w
Explanation: ALT+F5 brings up the Chord Options dialog - within this dialog you can switch to any beat in the current bar using ALT+beatnum, and you can Preview a chord by pressing ALT+w.
There isn't currently a simpler shortcut like Shift+Enter to play the chord on the second beat... maybe something like ctrl+shift+enter could be added if there is no conflict with another function.
Now, BIAB can play enter shift ctrl to play the second and fourth chords. This is good news. However, it is not yet possible to directly place 4 or 8 chords in each bar.
They may enable you to enter 4 separate chords in the chord sheet in the future as above. They said they were going to allow chords to be entered in the Track view and Audio Edit window.
