Hi, actually is only possible previewing (via shift+ENTER) chords on beats 1 and 3. It would be great being able to preview chords on beats 2 and 4 in the same manner.

Thanks!

At present, to hear a chord on beat 2 or 4, you have to go into the Chord Settings dialog box, click the radio button for the beat, and click the preview button.

Thinking out loud more about this:

If this were made possible, to step through the song one beat at a time, it would probably be helpful to have the user set the step increment. The default is 2 beats, and it could be changed to 1 or 4 (or 3 in a waltz style). Maybe even 1/2 a beat, to do pushes, but only if support can be added for more than four chords per measure.

A natural extension of this would be to change the step behavior of plain Enter the same way. This would perhaps make things easier for a beginning, since many of them write to the forum asking how to enter a chord on beat 2 or beat 4.
