The beat bars also indicate the current recording position (as the beat of the measure).

The note is automatically entered and Step recording moves to the next available position. For example, if a whole note is entered at the beginning of measure 1, the next position is the beginning of mea- sure 2.

As mentioned above, you can use the +/- keys to move backward and forward in the track. When material has been recorded, this steps through and sounds each note in succession.
