Vary Style in Middle Choruses Default =
If checked, the song will play in substyle B throughout the Middle Choruses. The Middle
Choruses include all choruses except the first and last. If not checked, the middle
choruses will play “a” and “b” substyles as set in the chordsheet with part markers.
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.
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.
Allow Pedal Bass in Middle Choruses Default =
This determines whether Pedal Bass effect will be allowed in middle choruses.
Allow Embellishment of Chords Default =
The Jazz styles include embellishment of chords. This means that if you type a C7 chord,
the piano player may play a C13 or a C7b9. This makes the arrangement sound more
authentic.
Tip: If you are hearing flat 9 and flat 13 embellishments on a C7 chord that is clashing
with the melody, you should rename the chord C9 or C13, which will ensure natural 9
and 13 embellishments. To disable the embellishment for a certain song, uncheck this
option. There are very few situations that you wouldn't want it on, especially if you
name some chords as C9 instead of C7 (in situations where the melody clashes with
the embellishment as discussed above.) You would need to uncheck it for any song
that you don't want it on.
Tag Settings
A tag (or coda) is a group of bars that are played in the last chorus of a song. If you
check the “Tag Exists?” field, then the tag will play during the last chorus of the song.
The tag begins after the bar you specify as “Tag Jump After Bar #.” The song then jumps
to the “Tag Begin at Bar #” and plays until “Tag Ends After Bar #.” At the end of the tag
the song then plays a 2 bar ending as usual.
