The first two lines (a) are the latest inserted event. The second two lines (b) are the event currently in edit, ready to be inserted.

The “Empty” event marks the beginning of the Song, when there are no events inserted. It is automatically inserted when entering the Record mode. It will be removed when an event is inserted.

4.The “Maaa.bb.ccc” parameter in (b) is the current posi- tion. This is the place where the note in edit will be inserted.

•If you don’t want to insert a note at this position, insert a rest instead, as shown in step 6.

•To jump to the next measure, filling the remaining beats with rests, press the >> button.

5.To change the step value, use the NOTE VALUE buttons, on the lower left area of the control panel.

6.Insert a note, rest or chord at the current position.

•To insert a single note, just play it on the keyboard. The inserted note length will match the step length. You may change the velocity and relative duration of the note, by

editing the V (Velocity) and D (Duration) parameters. See “V (Velocity)” and “D (Duration)” on page 94.

•To insert a rest, just press the REST button. Its length will match the step value.

•To tie the note to be inserted to the previous one, press the TIE button. A note will be inserted, tied to the previ- ous one, with exactly the same name. You don’t need to play it on the keyboard again.

•To insert a chord or a second voice, see “Chords and second voices” below.

7.After inserting a new event, you may go back by pressing the < button. This will delete the previously inserted event, and set the step in edit again.
