2-Beat Harmonies Not Tracking During Snippets Playback

Hi.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I need to change my configuration in some way.

What I'm observing is that 2-beat harmonies are not accurately tracking during snippet playback.

I seem to be getting the 2nd harmony in the bar for the whole bar instead of getting the 2 chords-per-bar that are present,

Here is video:

It updates with every snippet chunk, obviously one bar in this case. You are correct that this isn't enough.

Thanks for your reply Andre.

I hope this isn't a bear to fix.   In jazz-like compositions 2 chords per bar are very common, and even 1 chord per beat (4 per bar) is far from unheard of.

Is this "harmony update frequency" question a snippets-only thing at this time?

IOW, do short chords close together already work as needed for containers on the Structure side?

It's a snippets issue only.

Harmony is linear and continuous. No LEGO blocks or something. The grid of 1/8 is merely for safety that users don't accidentally end up with unexpected side effects.
