Explanation
Pattern time signature
* Can be specified only for
an empty pattern.
Pattern length
Length of the count before re-
cording begins
Insert a blank measure before
you return to the beginning
of the pattern
If this is ON, one blank
measure will be inserted
before you turn to the first
measure of the pattern.
* This provides a convenient
way to keep the end of the
last measure from being re-
corded into the first mea-
sure.
