I think that there's an issue with all of the styles working properly with the microchords. Some do work fine and others are not compatible apparently. I might be wrong, but someone else will clarify that in a bit.

I know I have used it successfully on some of my music but there are others where I had a great style that worked perfectly for the music but for some reason, would not let me use microchords where I really wanted to use them for effect.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
