This is how I did it, maybe there's a better way?
1. Split the bar multiple times until you see a separation between the beats.
2. Join the segments of each beat.
3. Copy the bar to others as needed.

Hi André,

The problem is creating a split that ends up with 3 even segments (for a 3/4 time). So if I split the segment once, I have 2 equal segments (1.5 beats each). If I split them again, I have 4 equal segment (3/4 of a beat each). If I split them again, I have 8 equal segments (3/8 beats each). What I need is 3 equal segments and I cannot see a way to do that even using joins. The problem is that the splits are done in halves. There needs to be a way to do it in thirds.

André,

I think I see what you mean. I had not been looking at the melody line to see where the splits line up. I believe I have been successful in getting 3 equal segments (with some trial and error). However, to the Songtrix folk, we should be able to say how many equal splits we want in a bar.

Thanks.

I just learned about the "Stretch Segments" function which seems to make it much simpler: you split once, then you hover over a harmony border until the mouse pointer becomes a double arrow. Then you can click and drag the border horizontally to the needed location.

Thanks, André. I will give that a try.
