Hi Bob,

Thank you for the SGU file. That helps a lot.

Firstly, if you click on the "Help" button in the Microchord window, near the top of the topic, you will find PG Music's comment that says: "[Note: The soloist and background RealTracks do not follow MicroChords by design because playing would be too chopping if they did.]"

Since Realtrack 613 (the resonator guitar) is designed as a "Background" track (it's in the track's full name -- 613:Guitar, Resonator, Background Hank Sw 130), PG Music's comment means that it will not work with microchords.

As an alternative approach, try this and see if it helps. Rather than use microchords, I suggest using an 1/8 note push on the chord on beat 2. If you have a look at my modified version of your SGU file, you'll see how to do it.

I also found that if the "Held" setting is applied to RT 613, then the chords in bars 7 and 8 play as written for this Realtrack. If "Held" is not activated, then it seems that the generated resonator guitar does not play bars 7 & 8. In the attached SGU file, I've set "Held" for RT 613 and RT 2874, generated and then frozen the tracks.

Regards,
