Dan.

more info. (see my previous post also.) and tricks to try.
this is how i got as you say...
' If I put a chord in a bar I want to hear that chord play in the midi track!'...
my question is what do you want to hear ?
a simple eg piano rhythm ? simple arpegs ?
so lets take 4 bars...

Am..Am..Am..Am

do you want slight rhythm differences for each of the above same chords ? so you can decide which ones you like ?

heres another option for badside.

forget about the chord track.

heres an example i came up with.

1. go to eg util track 3 hilte it.
2. in the menu select simple arrangement.
3. in the menu select midi supertrack.
select a rhythm piano say.
4. generate to see the midi in bb tracks view.

when i did this i got a simple midi rhythm piano genned and yes i heard something different with each bar even tho' the chord stayed the same.
with above i could then say go into reaps and edit to keep the midi bar
patterns i liked.

is this more what you want for the song a simple rhythm piano ?
also note there are various settings in the dialog..
'track settings and actions dialog'.

note with above i didnt get any 'ties' for same chords on more than one bar. i got proper notation and not the ties tween adjacent bars.

what are you going for with the song ?
just a simple chording track ?

finally there are various versions of 'unchain my heart' out there.
for example joe cocker does a more up tempo version thats kinda nice.
it would help if you gave a link to which version interests you so everyone has a base reference to help you.

the prob with this stuff is bb (and rb) have loads of different ways to do what a user wants....huge numbers of features.. it just requires lots of experimentation to reach what one hears in ones head.
