The Song Jobs 13: Create Measure Creates a specified number of blank measures having the specified time signature for all tracks. The created measures are inserted at a specified measure number, and all subsequent measures are moved forward to make room. • All existing measures after the point at which the new meas- ures are created will be moved forward to make room for the new measures. • If you use the Create Measure job with an empty song, the specified new measures will be placed in track 1 only. Use Create Measure when you want to add new material somewhere in the middle of data you've already recorded, without erasing the existing data. First create the required measures, then either copy the data from existing measures using the Copy Event function, or record new data as required. The "M" parameter above the graphic bar specifies the measure at which the newly created measures will be inserted. The time signature parameter below the graphic bar determines the time signature of the measures to be created: 1/16 ... 16/16, 1/8 ... 16/8, 1/4 ... 8/4. The "Meas" parameter below the bar specifies the number of measures to be created. After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Create Measure job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is being processed, then "Completed" will appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [F6] key ("Exit") to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode. 14: Delete Measure Deletes the specified range of measures from all tracks simultaneously. The "M" parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first measure and last measure of the range to be deleted. 48

number, and all subsequent measures are moved forward to make room.
The
“M”
parameter above the graphic bar specifies the measure at which the
newly created measures will be inserted.
The time signature parameter below the graphic bar determines the time
signature of the measures to be created: 1/16 … 16/16, 1/8 … 16/8, 1/4 … 8/4.
The
“Meas”
parameter below the bar specifies the number of measures to
be created.
After setting the parameters as required press

to execute the Create
Measure job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is
being processed, then “Completed” will appear briefly when the job is done.
Press the
[F6]
key (“Exit”) to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly
to the selected mode.
14: Delete Measure
Deletes the specified range of measures from
all tracks simultaneously.
The
“M”
parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first meas-
ure and last measure of the range to be deleted.
• All existing measures
after the point at
which the new meas-
ures are created will be moved
forward to make room for the
new measures.
• If you use the Create Measure
job with an empty song, the
specified new measures will
be placed in track 1 only.
Use Create Measure
when you want to add
new material some-
where in the middle of data
you’ve already recorded, with-
out erasing the existing data.
First create the required meas-
ures, then either copy the data
from existing measures using the
Copy Event function, or record
new data as required.
