List of Rest Lengths
The length of rests can be extended in the same way as notes —
the amount the rest is extended is determined by the currently
selected note length (see Note Length, above).
HINT
Chords
To enter more than one note on the same beat in order to produce
intervals or chords, move the cursor to the chord symbols on the
display (the bar under the chord symbol will flash), press the [-1]
or [+1] button to turn chord entry on or off. A bracket will appear
around the chord symbol when chord entry is on, and you can
enter several notes on the same beat, one after another, without
the QY8 automatically advancing to the next note location. Turn
chord entry off when you want to go on to the next note.
The parameters for the highest note in a chord are shown on the
display when the 1 MEASURE bar pointer is located at the chord.
DETAIL
Several notes can be entered at the same location even if the
chord entry mode is not selected: enter the first note, move the
location pointer back to that note, then enter the next note, and
HINT
so on.
In some cases the data shown on the display may not correspond
exactly with the data that was entered. (Refer to the
"Troubleshooting" on page 74.)
DETAIL
7.
Repeat Until Done
Continue entering notes/rests until the part is finished, then go on
and record the remaining parts, as necessary.
