Using a song edit job

As explained in the previous section, song edit mode allows you to modify,
insert, or delete individual events of tracks 1-15. This gives you very precise
control over individual data events, but it is often useful to use a Song Edit Job
to make overall changes that apply to all the data in one or more entire
measures.
Fifteen different song edit jobs are provided, allowing you to modify the data
of specified measures in various ways. You can copy, erase, delete, or insert
entire measures. In this example, we will use a song edit job to transpose the
notes in measures 17—32 of track 3 an octave up.
From the song play display, press F4 (Job 2) to get the Song Edit Job display.
Press F5 (05) to select the 05:Transps (transpose) job.
Now we will specify the track to be affected, the area of measures, and the
amount by which the data will be transposed.
1. Press memory select button 3 to select track 3.
2. Set the Top Measure =017 and the Last Measure =032.
3. Set the Interval =+12 (one octave up).
After setting the parameters, press ENTER. The bottom line of the LCD will ask
"Are you sure ?". Press +1/YES and the job will be executed.
Press EXIT twice to leave song edit mode and return to song play mode.
Press RUN to playback the song, and notice that measures 17-32 of track 3
play an octave higher than measures 1—16.
