Steve, .. use the "Key signature" option in 'Bar Settings' to set the key signature. I've found that setting the correct key signature often helps generate better chord progressions (especially with soloists) ....
Good tip, thanks bro ! -F
Pleasure fiddler!
There have been some chromatic chord progressions that I've used where I've had a temporary key change and to avoid getting notes outside that temporary key, I've used Bar Settings to set the key for those two or three bars.
For example: In one song I can recall, I had the progression...
(i) Bm7-E7-A then (ii) Em7-A7-D then (iii) F#m7-B7-E and then lastly (iv) F#7-B7
From a theory perspective, this progression is really iim7-V7-I in the keys of...
(i) A major, (ii) D major, (iii) E major and then (iv) II7-V7 in E major.
To get the soloist and background Realtracks to play correctly I had to set the keys A, D, E.
Hope this helps explain what I mean.
All the best,
Noel
