the auto-set position button, and choose the 12 position. Since we only want to

regenerate this for the choruses 4 to 6. We set the range to "Part of Song" and

the range to start at chorus 4, bar 1, and range of 96 bars. This will rewrite the

solo, by first removing the existing guitar chord solo (if any) and then generating

a new one.

Technical Note: Since some of the guitarists can be assigned to strum the chords

in a delayed fashion, if you repeatedly re-generate the solo, the melody will

become more and more delayed. The solution(s) would be to choose Edit-Undo

Solo prior to re-generating the solo, or picking a Guitarist that doesn't delay the

strum. The Strum delay status is indicated on the "Info" panel of the Select

Guitarist screen.

Once you have generated a Guitar chord solo …

The chord solo is now part of the notation track. You can edit it like any other

part, by deleting/ inserting notes etc.

You can use the special guitar features discussed

earlier to change the guitar voicings or replace a note with a chord or vice versa.

The solo will be saved with the song (MGU) and exported to a MIDI file, with

the string positions intact (because we use channels 11 to 16 for the Guitar part).

You can remove the solo at any time (even after the solo has been saved/re-

loaded, by choosing Melody-Remove Harmony part.

Guitarists can be customized, using the Guitarist Maker. This is described in the

next section.

Guitarist Maker

The Guitarist Maker is launched from the Guitarist

Selection Window. When you launch it, you'll see the available options.
