Chapter 3 Some Handy Features

Placing a Marker Within a Song

By setting markers at points in a song that you want to practice repeatedly, you can then easily move and repeatedly play back the selected measures.

Placing/Erasing a Marker Within a Song

You can place two separate markers (Marker A and Marker B) in one song. The marker is placed at the beginning of the bar. Placing markers is a handy way to start playback at the same place as many times as you like.

1. Press the [Composer Navigator] button.

The Composer Navigator screen appears.

2. Touch <Marker/Count In>.

The Marker screen appears.

3. Use the Bwd [ ] and Fwd [ ] buttons to move to the bar where you want to place the marker.

The measure number appears in the top-right area of the screen.

4. Touch <---> for Marker <A>.

Marker A is placed at the beginning of the bar you moved to.

<---> in the screen will change to the number of the measure where you placed the marker.

5. In the same way, move a position and touch <---> for Marker <B> to place Marker B.

When you’ve placed a marker, the number of the measure with the marker

appears on screen.

Erasing a Marker

1. At the Marker screen, touch <Clear> for the marker you want

to erase.

The marker disappears and the on-screen display changes to <--->.

You can also add markers or move to a marker even while playback is in progress.

A marker is normally placed at the beginning of the measure, but you can also place a marker at a position part way through a measure. Take a look at “Placing a Marker in the Middle of a Measure” (p. 150).

NOTE

You cannot place both marker A and marker B at the same location. Also, you cannot place marker B at a position earlier than marker A.
