Checking the number of track events ("No Of Event ?" menu)
The "Checking the number of track events" menu enables you to check the number of events on each track.
Each track (including Additional tracks) of recorder Programs consists of consecutive audio files (and "zero"
files). The number of events represents the total number of audio files and 0 files. Each track can contain up
to 512 events.
If you are editing a song of typical length (about six minutes), repeated editing operation does not usually
cause this maximum number to be exceeded. (Exceeding this limit is called "event number overflow.") Even a 20-
minute song will not cause event number overflow. This is because the recorder system always optimizes the
data structure by keeping the number of events low. However, if a recording on a track is scattered in
different areas of the disk, or if you have made a very long recording on a single track and performed many
edits, you should be wary of "event number overflow." To avoid this problem, use the "Checking the number of
track events" menu to check the number of events on each track prior to recording or editing.
