By scrolling through ths list, any selecled dala can bs copied lrom one track or part to
another. For example, ff a track containsd notes on many MlDl channels that had been
previously combined togethsr, copying only ona MlDl channel to a new track would allow
ths pans to be soparated out again. Also, copying NOTES ONLY from a track to iisel{ will
elfectively erase all pitchbend, controller, program change, after louch, and system
exclusive data from that lrack.

lf a new song number is selecled, the display will show th6 newly selected song number,
and pressing RECORD will append the source song numbor (th€ number selected before
pressing COPY), to the destination song number (the number selected while holding
COPY). This mode is very useful, since a verse consisting of more than one part could be
