1. Track editing functions

The following functions are provided for track editing.

operation.
Basic track editing procedure
1. Specify the region (time) that will be edited.
In order to edit a track, you must first specify the
region (area of time) that will be edited.
Move to the location that you wish to register.
Press the [STORE] key, and then press one of the
following keys to register the corresponding location.
[IN/LOC1] key: IN time
[OUT/LOC2] key: OUT time
[TO/LOC3] key: TO time
[END/LOC4] key: END time
For details, refer to "Using the locate keys to move"
(→p.46).
The IN, OUT, TO, and END times are used as follows
by each editing command.
