I am still learning how to use chords on the PSR, because sometimes the accomp. doesn't do what you expect. For instance it goes more than half an octave up, instead of down. And then you have find a different setting or even different chord to get the result you want. If that doesn't work or another chord is no option, you sometimes have to transpose.
Do you recognise that?

On "The Girl from Ipanema" I come across a different problem, where changing notes within chords doesn't give the results I want - the accomp. changes the entire chord instead of using alt notes. I understand the mechanism behind that though. In "the girl.." I changed the chords and the way I play them, so it DOES do what I want. This doesn't always work, but in "the girl .." it does.
So in this Bossa I use different chords on the guitar than on the arranger because of that. Well, I can't play both at the same time anyway

I notice there are not many discussion on this forum about chordprogressions and the way they can be played on the PSR. Don't you guys have problems like I described here? Or do you just accept where the accomp takes you?
