Operation
If measures are inserted between measures spanned by a note in a MIDI track, that note will be turned off immediately before the inserted measure; i.e., it will be shortened from its original duration.
5–3H: Copy Measure
This command copies playback data from the audio track specified in the dialog box to the Start Measure of the audio track specified in the tab 3 page.
Be aware that executing the Copy Measure command will change the playback data as follows.
•If you copy measures which contain no playback data, the copy destination measures will be blank.
•The playback data previously located at the copy destination will be erased, and replaced by the copied playback data.
•The playback data of the copied measures will be played back in accordance with the time signature of the copy destination.
1In the tab 3 page, specify the copy destination track and the Start Measure.
2When you choose Copy Measure, the dia- log box at right will appear.
3Specify the copy source song.
4Specify the copy source audio track. If you wish to copy the playback data of all tracks of the specified song including the MIDI tracks, check the All Tracks box.
This is an easy way to create repeated sec- tions such as refrains within a song.
5Specify the copy source Start Measure and End Measure.
6To execute the Copy Measure command, press the OK button. To cancel without executing, press the Cancel button.
