I still feel that if you feel you have to cater to all, the simplest solution 
is to put the first chord on its own track, with no break between that track 
and the rest of the dance, as mentioned earlier.  It shouldn't be difficult to 
come up with a version that sounds correct with either one chord or both. 
 Providing 2 separate versions seems like overkill, and a waste of disk space 
that could be used for other dances!
