Time Value for Chord Symbols
I've had a dialog with Mark and Sherry on this topic, and it was to be a future enhancement in Composer. I need to find a way to do it in the current release.
In writing for dance band/combo, rhythm parts are frequently chord symbols and nothing else. Back in the '60s, when I was doing this work by hand, you would write something like this: F Dm7 Gm7 C7 / / / / / / / / for two measures of 4/4 time, where the slashes indicated one beat. In a more syncopated rhythm, the slashes would get stems, which I can't show here. Is there any way that I can simulate this pattern in the current Composer? Ralph P.S. I can't get the spacing above that I wanted, i.e., 2 beats for F, 2 beats for Dm7, etc. Last edited by rrayner; 06-13-2011 at 02:54 PM. Reason: Spacing |
