If you have a chord that you want to use as a starting point for finding follow-on chords, you can use the List assistant.

Procedure

  1. On the toolbar, activate Show/Hide Chord Assistant Window.
  2. Open the List assistant.
  3. Select the chord pad that has the chord assigned that you want to use as a reference for suggestions.

    The further away the chord is from the reference chord, the more complex the suggestion becomes.

  4. Optional: In the list, click the chord symbols to audition the corresponding chords.
  5. To assign a chord to a chord pad, drag it out of the List assistant, and drop it on a chord pad.

    If one of the chord pads is unassigned, you can also double-click the chord in the List assistant to assign it to the first unassigned pad.

Result

The chord is assigned to the chord pad. It is played back to give you acoustic feedback.
