    Thanks for the very quick reply! Your solution is the best I've found. Unfortunately, the drums play on 1 and 2 rather than on the "ands" of 1 and 2. I edited the following chart to force iRP to play alternate bass notes (root and fifth). Here's my take on "Give My Regards To Broadway." It's hardly great but should do. Perhaps some time in the future, the developers could come up with a style that handles this type of tune.

    Is this perhaps the kind of thing you had in mind?

    Hi Jer,

    Your arrangement is the best solution that I've heard! It does the job, more or less, of simulating the old fashoned playing "in two" that I needed. However, you had to do a lot maneuvering to get there (which I appreciate). The developers need to create a style that can directly accomplish the same thing.

    Thanks for getting this to me. I'll be using it at my gig tonight.

    Happy New Year from New Jersey,
    Keith

    That's great, Keith. Good luck with it.

    Yes, among the limits of the program are that one can't enter chords as time values and there is no syncopation possible below a quarter note.

    But since it was designed as only a practice tool, we're lucky to be able to stretch it to use on gigs. I couldn't be more grateful for it.

    Feliz año desde México.

    Cheers,
    Jer
