Setting Markers for Repeated Practice (Marker)

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

■Placing a Marker within a Song

You can place two separate markers (Marker A and Marker B) in one song. These markers are placed at the beginning of a measure to make the beginning and end of a section of music. Placing markers is a handy way to start playback at the same place as many times as you like. You can add markers or move to a marker even while playback is in progress.

Access the Marker screen

First, select the song in which you’ll set the markers (p. 77).

1. Press the [Menu] button.

Touch to switch the screens.

2. Touch <Marker>.

The Marker screen appears.

Placing Markers

3. Go to the measure where you want to set a marker using the [ (Bwd)]

and [ (Fwd)] buttons.

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

Marker A is placed at the beginning of the measure you selected.

“- - -” on the screen will change to the number of the measure where you placed the marker.

5. In the same way, touch the Marker B <- - -> to set Marker B.

It is not possible to assign marker B to the same location or a measure before marker A.

Markers can also be assigned in units of beats rather than measures. Refer to “Placing a Marker in the Middle of a Measure” (p. 160).
