Chapter 12 Song Editing

This chapter explains editing that can be done across an
entire song, rather than on a track-by-track basis.

Song Arrange

Song Arrange allows you to easily rearrange song structure.
To use Song Arrange, place markers at the beginning of
major sections of your song. Next, set the order in which the
markers are to be played back. This operation can be undone
using the UNDO function.
