For example, in Jazz Swing, since the “b” substyle is Swing, all of the middle choruses will have swing bass. (The
“a” substyle is playing half notes on the bass.)
Allow Pushes in Middle Choruses Default =
This is used if you have put pushes into a song, but don't want the pushes to play in the middle choruses. The
middle choruses are usually used for soloing, so you may not want the pushes to play.
Rests
Allow Rests in First Chorus Default =
This is used if you have put rests into a song, but don't want the rests to play in the first chorus.
Allow Rests in Middle Choruses Default =
This is used if you have put rests into a song, but don't want the rests to play in the middle choruses. The middle
choruses are usually used for soloing, so you may not want the rests to play.
Allow Rests in Last Chorus Default =
This is used if you have put rests into a song, but don't want the rests to play in the last chorus.
