Adjusting Region Start & End Points
You can adjust the Region Start and End points in the same way as the Start and End
points on the TRIM and LOOP pages. However, since the Start point of each Region is
the same as the End point of the previous Region, adjusting the Start point of the current
Region also adjusts the End point of the previous Region. Likewise, adjusting the End
point of a Region also adjusts the Start point of the subsequent Region.
(1–32) This determines the number of Regions.
