Every day that passes I appreciate the flexibility of this thing (SF), thanks to the containers and everything else.
Attached to this post you can find a short piece for piano divided into three parts: a Doric beginning, a central part that uses a Phrygian palette, and finally the return to the Doric.
I used a Native Instruments piano (The Gentleman) to give it a more vintage color.

Thank you Andre, but I’d rather congrat with you for the enormous work you did.
Beside Logic Pro I own StudioOne and I really appreciate its Chord Track. But Synfire, intelligently and holistically combining the horizontal and vertical dimensions of music, is far closer to my way of thinking and composing. The Palette(s), from where I can pick a mood (scale) and its colors (chords) and instantly superimpose them on pre-existing material, are AFAIK a unique in the world of music softwares.
One could probably achieve something similar (but not with the same flexibility) working with Scaler or Captain Chords into a DAW. But when I want to explore in depth the colors of a scale, Synfire is the choice.
Maybe Synfire can’t fit well in a “go-go-go” situation, to quote Lytz1, and it’s obviously not comparable with ProTools. But I can assure that when one grasps its workflow, that is somewhat similar to midi comping into a daw, Synfire will grant hours of fun.
Stay tuned ;-)

A nice piece!
In your arrangement, right above the first container, there are the chords dispalyed. How did you do that
The main Chord progression is into the default container, the one with the file name. Then you can alter it inserting alternative harmonies in additional sub-containers
