I noticed the 1/8 note push doesn't work if there are different chords on beat 3 and 4. That would be VERY helpful. Also, it would be great if you could delay a chord to start on the "and" of a beat, thereby extending the previous chord by an 1/8th note.

Finally, people have been asking for a Bo Diddly beat for years. It would be a great addition.

Thanks.

I would concur with this. My thinking was a need for a "pull" which would do the opposite of a push. Right now, you can't have a rhythm like:

[img]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L2NAwNDc12X4JmSGaUhWO4fJbNVteT5S/view?usp=sharing[/img]

Which is a very common rhythm in jazz and blues.
Since you have to push the chord on beat 4 to get it to swing on the + of 3, there's no chord available for beat 4. If a pull was available, you could pull the chord on beat 3, then push the chord on beat 1 to get the desired rhythm.

I don't really need to upgrade till this is fixed.

Doesn't the BiaB micro-chords feature allow you to do this?

This is an older thread. Microchords does solve this. MYK, now you can upgrade.
