Changing the time signature of a single bar

To change the time signature of a specific bar, press <Change Tsig>.

The following screen will appear:

======== Change Time Signature ========A

Change the time signature of bar: 1

from 4/ 4 to 4/ 4.

(If the new time sig is shorter, the end

of the bar is truncated; if longer,

blank space is added to the end.)

========================================

<Do it>

This feature allows you to change the length of a particular bar within a

sequence by changing its time signature. If the time signature you

change to is shorter than the existing one, the unused end of the bar is

truncated. For example, if you need to remove one 1/8-note from the end

of a 4/4 bar, you would change its time signature to 7/8. If the new time

signature is longer than the existing one, a small amount of blank space

will be added onto the end of the bar.

To change the time signature of a bar, first select the bar number to be

changed in the top line. The existing time signature for that bar will be

displayed in the from field in the second line. Next, enter the time

signature you wish to change to in the to fields (2 parts) in the second

line. To perform the change, press the <Do it> soft key.

Rearranging the Track Order

This feature rearranges the track order by removing one track and

inserting it before another, causing all tracks in between to be re-

numbered. Multiple operations may be required to put the tracks in the

desired order. Select 2 (Chng track order) from the EDIT key menu and

the following screen will appear:

========== Change Track Order =========A

Sequence: 1-Seqnc⁄name

Place track: 1-Track_name

Before track: 2-Track_name

(Tracks in between will be renumbered.)

========================================

<Do it>

1 2 ... 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 ... 240 241
