    Default Never mind!

    Found how to insert a bar by diddling around. I must say, the intro docs are pretty minimal.

    But, I LOVE this app. It's just what I need and I'm glad I found it. Good work, guys.

    for anyone else wondering:
    a measure (bar) is just space between two barlines, so at the bottom of the chart where there is empty space, tap on a beat then tap on a barline (left barline), insert a chord then tap (or Next) the final beat of the bar, then tap another barline (right barline.)

    If you use the Insert beat within the chart, you will see the beats and measures after it move one beat forward.
    There is probably no need to Insert beats at the empty space at the end of a chart, just insert barlines. The space (beats) are already there.

    Usually we use 4 spaces per measure, even in 3/4, 5/4 etc. It creates a tidy chart with 4 measures per system (4 bars across) however a measure can be merely one space (giving up to 16 measures in a system!) but only allowing one chord per measure (obviously.) Remember the Player needs to work out what your intention is, so you will need to be tidy (no split measures across 2 systems for instance.)
    Note: sometimes the player will give an error when it cannot work out how to play a specific measure(s). This might be because of chord placement within a measure. Sometimes you need to move a chord either to a space before or after. (Obviously this does not apply to the first beat of the measure.)

    To split a measure of 4 spaces (4 beats) into two measures, tap on the 3rd beat and insert a barline.
    If you want to move the bars along for this extra measure, then you will need to Insert beat 4 times (assuming you are using 4 spaces per measure.)
