I think this may be the section you want (i-----want a-----girl to-----call my—own) You will need to use voices with a quick attack and fairly quick natural decay like piano and guitar I think. Note the position and value of the rests. Hope this is some help Mike
If you are trying to do that with BiaB 'shots' you will need an EXPANDED style. I invented EXPANDED styles for situations like this. You can put up to 8 chords per measure and you can put a shot on both a particular beat and the 8th note before that beat.

thanks - yeah that stuff I already knew - it's what chord and [ .. ^ ^^ . etc] notation marks to insert I need!

One alternative is to use a less well known recording of the song as the basis for your song project. For instance, Ricky Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band released +++ THIS +++ country ballad version of the song.
Ok Notes has invented these expanded styles, which makes me wonder why hasn't PGmusic found a workaround over the long number of years that basically does the same thing, surely its not impossible to do?
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2024, Cubase 13, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use

Notes has explained how to create your own expanded styles many times in the past. To summarize how I understand the idea: (1) Consider each Band-in-a-Box bar can be used like a spreadsheet cell. Then consider each cell can equal 1/2 a musical division or 1/2 a measure. In a "standard" Band-in-a-Box style a 60 bpm song would occupy about 15 bars while an "expanded" Band-in-a-Box style will require about 30 bars. (2) Double the bars means double the resolution. Where a "standard" style uses four beats and chords per bar (quarter note resolution) the "expanded" style allows for eight beats and chords per bar (eigth note resolution).
When Bob (Notes) Norton created expanded MIDI styles Band-in-a-Box did not offer half-time, double-time and triple time options. Those options help enable RealTracks work when users want to duplicate using an MIDI only expanded style.
All of this happened before I was a frequent forum visitor so my summary is likely not accurate.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
