Hi, all. I'm trying to play a jazz tune called Moanin'. Here's the repeated figure I want to set up:
Beats 1 and 2 are rests
Beat 3 has a dotted quarter Bb chord
Beat 4AND has an eighth F chord.
I called the tech support line but they told me to put the F on the first beat of the next bar and to push it by an eighth, which seems a really odd way of setting things up, not to mention it will put chord symbols in my music where there are whole bars of rests. Is there an easier way to set this up?
Thanks,
Doug

Support is correct. You can only 'push' earlier.

This is really bad. I don't understand why they can't have the computer delay the note by an eighth. It completely screws up the bars I'm trying to practice because instead of being blank, they're now have a chord in them.
Is there a way to start a song on a rest/empty bar? BB always adds a chord to bar 1 when I want it empty.

Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Do you know how I would do a Hit on a passing tone on the 4and and then the resolve chord on the one? Thanks.

I have a similar question, if anyone figured out yours, maybe they know how to do mine. I'm new here, hope this isn't inappropriate.

Did you try the new MicroChords feature? Can't promise it will work, but it made some claims about putting the beat on any of the 1/8 or 1/16 notes in the bar. Give it a try and let us know.

Yes, this was fixed two years ago by MicroChords.
