Finely Adjusting the Timing of Each Phrase—Adjust Timing
The positioning of phrases on the sequence tracks is determined with the following
formats.
• From which measure, beat, and tick number (Start)
• The length of expression in beats and ticks (Duration)
The Adjust Timing function is for changing these values.
Adjust Timing comprises three screens. The first screen is for selecting phrases, and
the second and third screen is changing settings.

[EDIT], and it will be turned

The extend to which the "Start"
and "Duration" of a phrase can
be changed is limited by the
phrase before and after it; that is,
phrases on the same track cannot
be overlapped. In addition, one
beat, as indicated here, always
means a quarter note (96 ticks).
This is not affected by the
rhythm in each measure.
