<p>Can't you just extend the first four bar pattern to 8 bars with extend to: and then put your melody in? And if u want to pull it from another pattern just use xmix.<br> Or am I missing something?</p> <p>sent from my gTab</p> <div class="gmail_quote">On Jun 9, 2011 5:04 AM, "lutherblisset63" <<a href="mailto:lutherblisset63@...">lutherblisset63@...</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution">> Thanks steve.
