Problem: putting 4 more complicated chords in 1 bar?

[grinsor]

Hi,

I'm a beginner with irealPro and have a question:

I want to put the following 4 chords in 1 bar (4/4): F, D7(b13), Gm7, C7(b13). How can I do that without overwriting the chords with the next chord or the end-sign of the bar "|"?

Regards,

grinsor

In the Chords menu there's a button lower left with an "S" on it that will make a chord smaller width-wise as well as all following chords until you use it again to enter an "N."

If that's not enough, you can construct your measures wider so that you have more room inside, and you will just have fewer bars on that line.

Sometimes S and N (small/normal) isn't enough help.
You can add or remove spaces to make the measures appear shorter or longer.
The player will play the chords as written even if they are overlapping but it's difficult for the musician to read.
You could add the extended chord quality using text, the musician can read it, but the player can't.
