I am having trouble with sustaining the last chord of the ending of a song I programmed. I put in Eb... for the last chord (for 2 beats of the measure) and want the chord to sustain for the 4 beats of the next measure. I set the chorus to end on the last measure (the one I want to sustain), I set it to end on the measure after that one, and can't get it to sustain through that last measure.
How can I get it to sustain?
Got it figured out. OK to close this.

Try Eb... for sustain, then Eb.. to stop.
I think this would work. |

That gives me another strummed Eb that I don't want.

You have to change the last chord in the measure where you want the sustained chord to end. For example, if the song ends on a sustained chord like A6.. then put in a different chord with a period in the measure where you want it to end and it doesn't matter what chord it is as long as it's a different one.

I found a forum about BIAB and this was the answer.
Have a few bars extra after the ending chord and just type in C. (C and one period). I just added it to the bar after where I wanted the sustained chord to fade out.
EDIT: The article I read said to the C chord and period, but any chord will do as long as it is not the same as the chord you want to sustain.

Thanks Andy. That's what I found. I remember having known this a long time ago, but forgot exactly how to do it.
