have been changed, the “OK to delete Song?” confirmation

Determining the song’s beat and tempo
4. Press the [Metronome] button to select the beat (p. 40).
→ You can’t change a song’s beat once it’s been recorded. If you
want to compose a song whose beat changes partway through
the song, take a look at “Changing the Beat in the Middle of a
Song (Beat Map)” (p. 127).
5. Press the Tempo [-] and [+] buttons to set the basic
tempo of the song.
If you do not need the metronome sound, press the
[Metronome] button once more.
→ When using song data that has already been recorded, the
recording is made using the source song’s basic tempo. To
change the basic tempo of a song, please refer to “Changing the
Tempo of Recorded Songs” (p. 128).
