Changing Time signatures in a song

You can’t change time signatures on a transition. I approached this a variety of ways on this song.

  1. You could make a 6/4 measure and transition to it each time at the end of the chorus
  2. You could use the foot switch to pause to create the break, and then unpause on 1
  3. You could make a DOP of the whole song

I actually started with option 1 and then turned it into option 3. I’ve attached in here: The_Weight OP.sng (561.2 KB)

The entire song is in the intro. The structure is as follows:

  • Intro roll
  • Walk down progression twice
  • All five verse/choruses/walk down progressions sequences with a 6/4 break at the end of the chorus
  • Walk down progression happens twice after the fifth verse/chorus
  • After the intro is over you get dropped into a Null song part and can stop the song.

If you’re interested in more dynamic control, I actually posted a version here when I had the parts created but hadn’t put them into a DOP yet: The Weight (The Band)
