I'm wondering how exactly the generation of chords responds to a user's clearing and locking a chord. When a bar is emptied, does the preceding bar begin factoring the melodic pitches from that (empty) bar in predicting the chord for the earlier bar? In
other words, if you were to clear and lock the chords as in the top image here--just ignore the bottom image, which I posted in error--and then move the sliders around, does Songsmith begin changing the E chord to reflect the melody across bars three and four?
Or does it just consider only the melody over the unlocked, first half of bar three? I was hoping for the former, although I'm guessing it's the latter?
