Hey Luke, I often split measures at the end of a phrase to allow a “forced” bass walk up or run into the next phrase. The guitar and mandolin strike on each beat with the bass, making it sound mechanized and not smooth. I realize the measure split is probably designed for chord changes at twice the standard rate.
For me, doing these split measures bass only would smooth the song out. I use your Strum Machine as performance backing tracks.
Also, keep that “band changes per section” idea on your radar.
Thank you Luke!
