■Creating a new song from a Cue List (Cue List Copy)

The playback order that you have programmed in a cue list can be rewritten into a new song. As shown in the following diagram, this can be used to remake a song into a new version whose length and arrangement differ from the original song.

	Intro		Opening A		Opening B		Bridge		Chorus A	Opening B		Bridge		Chorus B	8 measures	Chorus C	Ending
								1					2		of fill
S		1		2		3		4	5		6		7	8	9	10		E
