9 . Delete Bars from Beat
This deletes bars from a Beat. Enter the Beat, the First and Last Bar to delete,
then press the Delete Now soft key.
10 . Change Time Signature of Beat
This function allows you to change the time signature of all measures within a
beat. If the new time signature is shorter, the notes at the end of each bar will be
truncated. Or if the new time signature is longer, the notes at the beginning of
each bar will be copied to the end of the bar to fill the new space. You can also
change the number of bars in the beat. If the new number of bars is greater, the
notes in the earlier bars are copied to the new bar(s) at the end. Or if the new
number of bars is lesser, the ending bars are deleted entirely.
To change time signature, enter the beat, new time signature and number of bars,
then press the Set Sig Now soft key.
