nological order) of the selected group should be
shifted by pressing the [BAR], [BEAT] and [CPT] fields,
and entering the desired value for each unit using

Press the [EXECUTE] field to confirm your settings
and move the event(s).
Press [CLOSE] to close the pop-up window without
applying your changes.
