Undoing Edits (Undo)

You can cancel an editing operation that you've just carried out.
This is handy when you want to undo an edit and restore data to
the way it was before.
* There are some edits that can't be restored.
Editing functions that can be undone appear on screen.

If you select "Cancel", the undo is cancelled, and you're
returned to the Song Edit screen.
If you select "OK", undone the most recent edit.

Copying Measures (Copy)

You can copy a portion of a performance to a different bar in the
same Part or to a measure in another Part. This is handy when
you're composing a song that repeats a similar phrase.

Correcting Timing Discrepancies
(Quantize)
You can correct for timing discrepancies in a recorded
performance by automatically aligning the music with the
timing you specify. This is called "Quantizing."
As an example, let's say that the timing of some quarter-notes in
a performance is a little off. In this case, you can quantize the
performance with quarter-note timing, thus making the timing
accurate.
