    Default Chords on 8th notes?

    Hi!

    How do you put a chord on the 4& - or on an off-beat? All I tried didnīt seem to work?

    Hi Steff.
    It's not easy to do with the player feature. (yet)
    A work-around is described in a thread listed below:

    Hi Bob, has there been any progress on this, i.e., 8th note chords or dotted 1/4 note chords?

    The work-arounds described in my previous links are still the best info.

    I am surprised that this has not been implemented yet, many songs have 8th note changes and it would be good to show these in the chart.

    Default Chords on 1/8th notes

    The last post I can find asking this is 10 years old. Is it possible to show chords on 1/8th notes, not bothered about player I just want to make a chord chart that has two chords on the last ž note of the bar.

    You can easily write a read-only chart… make the measure(s) in question 8 spaces.
    (Not player compatible).
    Or use the 2nd chord in the 4th space of a standard bar and enter the preceding chord as a (not played by the player) alternate chord above.

    Make


    Split a 4/4 bar into a 3/8 and a 5/8 bar. Don’t forget to return to 4/4 after the 2 eight note bars. It’s not as bad as it sounds but it works well.
