Yes, that works pretty well. It's too bad that the software can't take =
care
of things like that automatically. What I'm eventually going to turn =
this
piece into is background music for a game. I have a really easy way to
determine the "excitement" in the game. I want each pattern to repeat
indefinitely until the groove changes (which happens fairly often, =
almost
always rising), then play its resolution over the next pattern's =
beginning.
So, segment triggers will work, but is there any easier way to make it
happen without explicit triggers?
Thanks again!

Yup, that's the expected behaviour. Since you want the chord to
overlap:
-If the same 2nd pattern always follows the 1st pattern, then you =
could
double the length of the 2nd pattern, duplicate the notes (to create an
artifical 2x repetition), and add the resolution chord to the start of =
the
2nd pattern.
-If a different 2nd pattern follows the 1st pattern each time, you =
could
try putting the resolution chord on the very last tick of the 1st =
pattern.
(You would need to double the length of the 1st pattern and copy the =
notes
to create an artifical 2x repetition, so the resolution chord only plays =
the
2nd time).
If the first pattern repeats a random number of times, or is =
sometimes
not followed by a 2nd pattern, then you may have to do something more
complicated. :^)
(Any thoughts from other list members?)
Saul.
