•Rotate the JOG dial to enter the desired measure number.

If you wish to keep the initial setting for the first measure, enter 002. If you try to enter any number other than 001, the time signature indicator shows [- -]. This means that no time signature is set for any measures other than the first measure. To change the time signature for the first measure, follow the steps below, without entering any other measure number.

•Press the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the F FWD button to display flashing [—] of [- -] and enter the time signature using the JOG dial.

The following measure numbers and time signatures can be entered via the JOG dial.

	001-999, selection of [All Clear?]
	indication.
Measures	[All Clear?] means that data in its entirety
	will be cleared. This is used to initialize
	the parameter. (Refer to “Clearing stored
	time signature/tempo data.”)
