Hey Gang,

I'm trying to use the MicroChord feature. I'm playing a C on Beat 1, Bb on 2, and F on 3 & 4 on bar 24. All the other bars play fine. I was trying to find an onscreen keyboard to see what it WAS playing, but I can't find that feature. Quite surprising. I guess I could change them when I import the file back into SO6.6.

You don't need to use micro-chords in this case. Just input your chords like this C,Bb F: that is C comma (,), Bb.
Micro-chords are for adding more that one chord per beat. Using a comma will put chords on the second and forth beat of a measure.

I hope this helps.

To add to MarioD's advice, we have a video that does a great job of demonstrating how to use this feature that you might want to check out:

Aha! I've been fighting with microchords for a good chunk of the afternoon, but what I needed was Motif! Thanks for expanding my knowledge as well as solving my problem.
