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.
