Making a chordprogression directly in Composition view ??

[vanhaze]

Dear all,

After having bought Rapidcomposer years and years ago and left it alone,
cause i found the whole program too overwhelming, now i slowly start
to make progress in the program, taking my time with it and
reading the manual and seeing tutorials.
I discover really amazing things !

But,one thing that i am bumping up against is this:

Is it possible to make a chordprogression directly in Composition View or DO
i have to go to Chordprogression view first, to create a progression there ?
For me, feels clumsy if i first have to to Chordprogression view.
And then again, i don't even know at the moment how Chordprogression View works;
There is nearly no explanation in RC manual and there is no tutorial about the Chordprogression View.
(Maybe i'm blind).

I hope to see some help.
Many thanks in advance !

Rob.

Hi Rob,

just a small comment (thanks for the reply, yellukhan): I do not like the 'Progression Editor' either. So it will be removed in a next version, and the chord palette (when you right click on a chord) will be further improved to include a section where you can put together a chord progression, regardless of the view. A few more tools will be added, like a "circle of fifth" view.

You can set the rules used for chord suggestions in the master track inspector. At the moment only the root (that is the composition) has such a setting in the composition->part->line->chord boxes hierarchy.

Thanks,
Attila
