This operation moves all notes and events in the specified
track and range of measures forward or backward by the
specified number of clocks (96 clocks = 1/4 note).
Track
Range: 01 — 16, Tmp (Tempo track)
This determines the track to be affected by the Shift Clock
Job: sequencer tracks 1 - 16, or the Tempo track (Tmp).
Measure Range
Measure Range is actually four separate settings (as shown
below). These determine the range of the play data that is
to be affected.
First measure.

Track
Last measure.
Last beat.
Measure Range
Clock
Range: -999 — +999
This determines the direction and number of clocks by
which the notes in the specified measure range will be
shifted. Positive settings shift the notes forward (toward
the end of the song) and negative settings shift the notes
backward (toward the beginning of the song).
Press E to execute the Clock Shift Job. A "Com-
pleted" message appears briefly when the Job is done.
NOTE: The Shift Clock Job will not shift data beyond the
specified measure range. Events near the beginning and end
of the specified range may therefore sound "bunched" together
in some cases.
HINT: Since the Shift Clock Job actually shifts the timing of all
notes and other events in the specified measures forward or
backward, it can significantly alter the "feel" of the song. You
could move the notes forward (positive values) to create a
more "laid back" feel, or backward (negative values) to produce
a more "driving" feel. Of course, you can also use this
parameter to correct timing that is consistently off in the first
place.
