If a 4/4 pattern is selected, for example, the count-in will run from measure "-08" to "-01", then recording will begin from measure "001". Since you selected "Pat" recording, the cursor will automatically move to the style number when you start recording. All you have to do to record style and section changes is to select the required style numbers by using any data entry method, and section changes via the appropriate micro-keyboard keys. Remember that all style and section changes occur from the top of the next measure after the change is entered.
