Beyond what Charlie has pointed out, I've found it a lot easier to do fills for verses or choruses. Assume the verse is 8 bars. For the most part, each bar is the same except for the last two which are fills. I create a 1 bar section, and set it to repeat 6 times in the layout. Then I create a two bar fill section and put it at the end verse bars in the layout. Voila! 8 bars with a fill at the end.
This makes eminent sense to me, with the sections giving you essentially reuseable elements. There's no reason you couldn't create a bunch of 6-bar sections and another bunch of 2-bar fills with which to assemble into a variety of 8-bar patterns -- and I start to wonder whether you can drag pre-definied sections from one open song file to another? That would let you collect a local library of sections that you could then chuck around in different compositions. Anyway, I look forward to wresting the computer back from my wife's masters thesis and doing something important with it, like playing with the new DB versions and making music :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
