How do I play a Piano B Chord on Musical Typing?

I have Gargeband 11 version 6.0.4 and I am using a MacBook Pro.

My question is why is the musical typing box so small that some of the chords can not be completely played?

For example when I go to play B chord, I can play the letters J and P, but the final letter of the chord does not even fit in the musical typing box.

Is there a way I can get around this to play a complete B chord?

Is there a different part of garageband where I can play a complete B Chord?

Thank you

MacBook Pro

Not with Musical Typing. Only, if you connect a midi keyboard.

As a work-around, play the keys you can play, and add the missing parts of the chord in the track editor by duplicating parts, or play your chords transposed and transpose them back after playing.

You're welcome. 🙂 I am sorry, it was no better news.

Is there a reason, why you do not update to GarageBand 6.0.5?

That update has some bug fixes and is the last available update for GarageBand '11: It can be downloaded here: GarageBand 6.0.5
