Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: Track Functions
Shift
The Shift function allows you to offset the existing MIDI events forward or backward in time
any number of ticks (1/480th of a Beat) and beats. This function only affects the End point if any
of the shifted events are after the End point of the song.
Events can not be shifted beyond the End point or before Bar 1 : Beat 1 : Tick 0. The events can be
shifted only as far as these temporal boundaries. All events that can't be shifted the full Ticks
amount will be placed at the boundary location.
Amount: Bars : Beats : Ticks
The Ticks parameter specifies the number of bars, beats, and ticks that the MIDI events, from
within the selected region, are moved forward (for positive values) or backward (for negative
values) in time relative to their original locations.
Mode: Merge/Erase
The Mode setting determines whether the shifted events merge with, or erase existing events on
the destination track from the location point to the end of the shifted region.
Transpose
Use the Transpose function to change the MIDI Note numbers of the selected Note events.
Semitone: ‐128 to 127 semitones
An increment of one semitone represents a change of one MIDI Note number. You can transpose
Note events only within the range of MIDI Note numbers 0 to 127.
