Macro Execution

To execute a macro, recall the register in which the macro is held.
Simultaneous with the register recall, all events stored in the macro are played
back (executed) in sequence without pause.

Pausing and restarting macro execution

It is also possible to execute a macro in the following ways.

Pause event

To adjust the execution timing of a particular event (to delay the start of
execution of the event by a particular time interval), you can store a special
event which pauses macro execution. This event is called a “pause event.”
When you store a pause event, you can set the interval for which the macro is
paused (the pause length) to any value in the range 1 to 999 frames. When the
set time has elapsed, the macro is automatically executed.

Pause zero event

By including a pause event with the time set to zero, you can make macro
execution pause at the pause event.
