I have a simple G13 to Cmaj 7 progression I’m just using to practice guitar. The piano part is a bit busy. It’s got some embellishments which I don’t mind but I’d like to see if I can find something a bit less busy. What would I need to do to make some adjustments to only the piano part.
I did a search and couldn’t find anything here in the beginner forums.
Any help would be appreciated
Jazz hands!

Try:
On the mixer, click on the long track description of the track in question (under the volume control).
Then "Track Settings"
Then "Force track to simple arrangement : Piano"
or on the same Dialog, maybe try "Set natural arrangement (re-interpret chords)"->Enabled.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

Any help would be appreciated In addition to Gordon's comment, it will also depend on what piano Realtrack you have in place. If it is a 'soloist' Realtrack or MIDISuperTrack, it will most likely be busy. 'Background' and 'Rhythm' tracks are less busy. These terms are part of the tracks' names so you will see them in the mixer.

Use F7 to open the MultiPicker and select the Styles tab. Click on Category and scroll all the way down to More ... at the bottom of the menu. Select More ... to open a sub menu and select Utility Styles. Utility Styles are styles that perform special tasks like a metronome click track or have a piano just playback hold chords. Most Utility Styles are pretty simple. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=30119&filename=Clipboard01.jpg)

In the mixer, My piano track says -487: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 so I see what you mean. Just curious would background be considered less busy than Rhythm?

Most Utility Styles are pretty simple. Forgive my ignorance but do Utility tracks need to be applied specifically to utility tracks? So many options in these submenus it’s a little daunting lol. When I apply something it seems to change everything. Also, would there be a way to apply the change to just one chord in the progression? Thanks for your patience.
