Hi Kevin,
 From your description here , you'd end up erasing the chord changes 
and the rhythm fill,
...and then soloing over the rhythm while the melody played.

So this is how it's done

Hope that's what you wanted.

In any case, you can use the same idea to end up soloing on the 
changes if you'd rather.

SwitchQuant =CnF

3. now as you have SwitchQuant =CnF you can do the overdub of the 
chord changes by first hitting NextLoop(before the time where you'd 
start the overdub),
then hit Multiply when you want to actually start overdubbing the chords.

You'll have to hit Mult again at the end of the structure,
OR if you want to start O/D ing the rhythms right away you can end 
the Multiply by
hitting Overdub.


>4. Put in rhythm fills every 8 bars and on the turnaround.

yep, just the same for this bit


>5. Here's the tricky part: With one pedal press, undo #2 _only_ and

Now use NextLoop to go back to Loop1
( NextLoop followed by Undo)

I don't try to emulate conventional structures (usually),
but explore what's possible.
