Changing the Time Signature
Midway Through the Song
If you want to change the time signature midway through the song,
insert a new Beat Change. The song will play back using that time
signature for measures following the inserted beat change.
• It is not possible to change the time signature in the middle of a
measure. You must change the time signature at the beginning of
a measure.
• If the time signature of the beat track differs from the pattern
beat (p. 142) setting, the setting of the beat track will be used. For
example, if a pattern with a 3/4 time signature is assigned in the
middle of a 4/4 song, the pattern will not be aligned correctly
with the other phrase tracks. To make this play back correctly,
insert a 3/4 beat change into the beat track. To return the time
signature to 4/4, insert a 4/4 beat change into the measure that
follows the last measure of the pattern.
If you want to change the time signature from a measure that is
later than the end of the song, or if it is ok to change the length of
the song, you will find it more convenient to use the track edit
