It actually happened by accident. The client wanted a
recording of the piece. He understood that it would be
VERY minimal in terms of quality. So, I quickly ran
off an aif file for him and burned a CD. Later, he
said how much he liked having the recit sections with
the chords. I of course took full credit for it
eventhough I had no idea it was there!! So now that
revisions have been made, he wants another CD. But
this time the chords won't play back! I eventually did
what you suggested and put in my own chords. Kind of
sneaky on my part, I know. I'm almost ashamed...

I have been using them all along. I think at some
point I did define Bill's chords to play back. It was
my first time using chords, and so much time has
passed since I started this beast of a project, that I
can't remember everything I did.

Thanks for your help!
