Chord removal

[dsan@mail.com]

Sorry to ask such a stupid question.

How do I remove a chord from the timeline? It resides in between chords

Adding an extension to the previous chord pushes the chord I would like to remove to the right in the timeline.

Moving a chord from the right of the chord I want to remove shortens it but the shortest I can achieve is one beat.

I'm sure this is likely very simple but I cannot find a way to remove a chord in between chords.

Putting them in is easy, that's what got me in trouble

Thanks for any insight!

Hello dsan,

there is no stupid question...
You can remove the chord if you double-click on the chord boundary (where the chord begins).
I think it is easy: you can split a chord with a double-click, but you can also join them.
I hope I did not misunderstand your question.
If you also want to remove a few beats, with phrases, you need to make a timeline selection, and select Remove... from the timeline inspector.

Thanks,
Attila

Thank you for your very quick response Attila

I'll give your suggestion a try then.

I knew about the method to split (actually that's why I have the unnecessary chord in the timeline ) but did not know I could combine adjoining chords.

TBH, I do not want to remove time in the composition. Just need to remove a chord that doesn't belong. Due to its location it will be difficult to make adjustments all along the time line.

I knew it had to be a simple thing to do (and since I am not simple minded I couldn't figure it out )

Thanks again!
