I would like to lay down a track with a basic Blues shuffle rhythm. Normally this would be 4/4 with each beat consisting of a "power chord" or double stop played as a triplet with the center stroke of each triplet not played (as Blues folks will know). How in the heck can one set this up without spending a day on a mere 12 bars? Any help would be greatly appreciated! BTW, I'm using v. 1.0.
Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark,

I was just trying to write a twelve blues bar and I was asking myself the same question. I just found a trick. Go in Composition/Triplet Feel menu and you can select for example Triplet 8th for example. It's way easier and way faster to do this.

Thanks, Gino! Two questions: do you use 4/4 as the time signature? Secondly, is there a shortcut to inserting the chord each time? In other words, must I insert (for example) A5, then A7, then A5, then A7 again in the first bar? It seems that there would be a click-and-drag option or maybe even a way to assign each chord to a variable like I5, I7, IV5, IV7, etc. Maybe I'm asking too much from an app that already does so much so easily.

At the Chord editor, you can manage your favorite chords at the right box.. ( where you see buttons to Add/Rename/Remove )

Once you have them, and close the chord editor.. you may see that at the toolbar where is the chord tool item.. there is also a little drop down button.. that if you click shows you the custom chords to add.
