Deleting of inserting a blank

Post by remy0326 »

In song edit mode, is there anyway to insert maybe a half measure instead of the whole 4 count measure in the sequence data. I was working on a track and I needed the other parts to come in on a 2 count instead of the 4 and, so I inserted a blank measure. Now I don't need a whole blank measure just half of it.

remy0326,

Sounds like what you are trying to do is to insert a 2/4 bar in a song that is 4/4. To do this, go to Song Edit>Micro Edit.

Select 'Beat Track' as your Track selection, all Parts
Select Create>Beat Change.
Then simply plug in the measure value you want to change to 2/4, then use the left and right cursors to tab over to the data and change the time to 2/4 and execute.

You will then have to create another Beat Change to change back to 4/4 for the rest of the song.

To sum it up, you want to edit the Beat Track. Page 196 in the manual can help.
