To exempt instruments, add their letters following the break. Typing

c.bd will put a rest on all instruments EXCEPT the bass and drums.

C...p

This will put a held chord on all instruments except the piano.

Pushes

Pushes in Styles.

“Pushes” (also called anticipations) are chords that are played before the beat.

For example, in Jazz Swing, the piano player often “pushes” a chord change by

playing the chord an eighth note before the beat. Styles can push any instrument

so that the instrument plays before the chord begins. This is very common in

Jazz and other Pop music, and gives the music a more natural sound.

You need not be concerned with pushes that are in the styles as they happen

automatically. You need only to be aware that the styles can push the

instruments. This makes styles sound much better, and more syncopated.

Pushes in Songs.

Chords can be pushed by an 8

or 16

note. For example, you can specify a

chord to occur a 16

note before the beat and all instruments, including drums,

will play this.

You can also specify that a chord change should happen before the beat. To do

this, you can either use keystrokes, or the chord options dialog box. To use

keystrokes:

- Type the caret symbol (^) before the chord. (The caret symbol is located

above the 6 on the keyboard).

- Type a single caret to get a chord an eighth note before the beat.

e.g.

^C7

Type a double caret to get a chord a sixteenth note before the beat.

e.g.

^^C7

In Jazz styles (and other triplet feels), the chord will be pushed by a triplet,

regardless if there is a single or double caret (^^).

Chord Options Dialog Box

There is an alternative to the various keystrokes to put in rests and pushes. You

can use the Chord Options dialog box instead. To get to the dialog box, select

Chord Settings from the Edit menu or press Option+Z.
