determines the minimum timing resolution used in the

 

 

 

4 (1/8 note triplet),

Song. For example, if there are both quarter notes and

 

 

 

5 (1/16 note),

eighth notes in the Song, you should set this value to

 

 

 

6 (1/16 note triplet),

“eighth note.” Any notes or rests shorter than this value

 

 

 

7 (1/32 note),

will not be shown in the score.

when no such setting exists, the setting here is used.

*All these settings can be conveniently reset to their initial default values by pressing the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simultaneously. (The exception to this is Initial Send, which is an operation, not a setting.)
