I think this change is very good. Then, now that I'm using the 1110, I have to hold shift in the chord builder to not enter the chord. Why does it have to change every time. It's so funny.

For example, make it easy/ (more intuitive) to audition next chords ideas and more work to insert/commit the chord (which make sense when fishing for the next chord). I am guessing the reason they reversed it, was they thought it would be better to match the existing method for auditioning of chords in the Chord View which is (shift+ Enter). Related Topic: I personally do not care for the audition of 4 chords in the bar by using two different hot keys. (Shift & Ctrl = not intuitive) I would have much preferred (Shift+ Enter) to audition the chord and automatically move to the next chord and then another Shift + Enter would have auditioned each next Chord. This would have been smarter as it would allow you to audition up to 16 chords in a bar for as long as you wanted.

Anything added for other chords within the measure, up to 16 as you say, should follow the same process (whatever it is). BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
