Changing the bar offset

If you locate the ABS zero point (the beginning
of a song) while the time base is set to Bar/Beat/
Clk, the display will show "-2bar 1 00clk" by
default. This means the ABS zero point corre-
sponds to "bar -2, beat 1".

This offset (the Bar/Beat position at the ABS zero
point) is called "

bar offset

". You can set a desired

bar offset if necessary.

1) Bring up the song edit menu screen and use the

[CURSOR ] key to highlight "Bar Offset" on the
first page of the screen, then press the [ENTER]
key.

The current bar offset flashes ("-2bar" by default),
showing that you can now edit it.
