Scene Increment
By default Scene names will not increment. When Setup Menu option

incremented manually by pressing and holding the Headphone Encoder, then sliding the Transport
Control right (Fast Forward). If the current scene name does not end in a number or letter, a “1” or
“A” will be added (for Numeric or Character increment mode, respectively). If a scene name does
end in a letter or number, the letter or number will be incremented.
Take Notes and Phrases
The Notes metadata field is used to provide extra information about a take that is not accounted for
with the other metadata fields.

Switch right. To delete a phrase, select it in the list and slide the Slate/Tone Switch left.
