1-Bar Trigger Option

The 1-bar option requires a bit of explanation. When a trigger key is pressed
before the last beat of the measure, the part will continue playing until the
end of the measure. If the Trigger Key is pressed after the last beat of the
measure, the part waits until the next measure before playing. Then it plays
for the entire measure and stops. The time signature and the measure
bounds are determined by the particular Beats Riff you are playing.
