Changing the bar offset

If you locate the ABS zero point (the beginning of a song) while the time base is set to Bar/Beat/ Clk, the display will show "-2bar 1 00clk" by default. This means the ABS zero point corre- sponds to "bar -2, beat 1".

This offset (the Bar/Beat position at the ABS zero point) is called "bar offset". You can set a desired bar offset if necessary.

1)Bring up the song edit menu screen and use the [CURSOR ] key to highlight "Bar Offset" on the first page of the screen, then press the [ENTER] key.

The current bar offset flashes ("-2bar" by default), showing that you can now edit it.
