the tempo track data so that the song will play back in a specified time.

For details on the settings, refer to “Basic Operation for Track
Editing” (p. 151)
Measure, For (Edit Range)
Measure the playback time, or check/modify the range of measures
that are to be adjusted. If you set “For” to “ALL,” all measures will
be specified.
Time H/M/S
The playback time will be displayed. From left to right, the time
display indicates “hours: minutes: seconds.”
Time Original H/M/S
The current playback time will be displayed.
Deleting Blank Measures (Truncate)
Copying or merging may sometimes create blank measures at the
beginning of a phrase track or pattern. Truncate deletes silent portions
from the beginning of the specified phrase track to the first note-on.
If other sequencer data (such as program changes or control
changes) is recorded between the beginning and the first note-on
of the specified phrase track, only the last data event of each type
will be placed before the note-on.

be deleted.

of the specified track, and the position of the first note-on.
